its finally warm in the house. Gotta love central air & heat.
The big question is how much cheaper will it be compared to the 8 220v room heaters that are in the walls? Summer time runs around 500 a month and the winter around 400. Spring is the best when we don't use anything and it runs around 130 a month.

It depends, how well insulated are you?
Now you just have to pull out and patch/paint all those wall heater holes
insulation is good. It has only cycled once in the last 1 1/2 hrs. Ya I'm really looking forward to all the patch work in the walls and the 3 wall a/c units.
I expanded my house from around 1050 sf to 1750 sf. Upgraded the (20+ year old) 3 ton A/C w/ strip heat to a 4 ton heat pump last March.
I'm on the average plan at the Power Company, paying the ame amount every month, averaged from the previous 12 months. My prior average payment was $230 per month figured from Dec '02 - Dec '03. It just went down to $136, from the average Dec '03 - Dec '04.
Larger house, bigger cooling/heating unit = lower electric bills????????
The unit has already paid for itself in savings, or at leat will have in the next 6 months with the new average payment. I got the Heat Pump as a scratch & dent from a member of the boards here. Killer deal.
Point to make is that if you have an efficient central unit, you can't go wrong, cost wise, over space heaters or older A/C units.
Well the kids are bitching that its to hot. Wife loves it. I have the thermostat programmed and locked.My house is 2330 sqft and its a 5ton unit. The heat side of it is propane.
