I’ve gotten several quotes. It would cost me about $15,000 to install a system, and that’s after incentives and rebates. I don’t air condition in the summer except the bedroom, at night–it only rarely gets above 85F inside at night–and I heat with a wood stove in the winter, with a propane central heater for the relatively few days when a stove can’t keep the inside of the cabin warm enough. So it would take me years to capitalize the costs. On top of that, I’d have to extensively renovate to insulate what I can in order to really see benefits from a heat pump.
Yeah, I want to. I’d love to. If I move out to northern Nevada–my dream—I will absolutely install a small solar farm and do a heat pump. But where I am, right now? Ain’t feasible.
I can’t afford it. Simple as.
