That’s excellent to hear. Sticker shock is a big reason people don’t use heat pumps

People should not be looking at the purchase price, they should be looking at total long term costs. Especially since the US is not going to stop random wars anytime.

If you don’t have the money for the initial purchase you’re never going to see the savings because you’ll never buy it

Yeah, but I think the government is failing in regards to heat pumps. Especially with the heat wave, if they promoted the fact that heat pumps can heat and cool, people who at least get the chance to be sticker shocked.
