This is impossible to break out, as I also use natural gas for the water heater and stove.
.0373 here ,but I keep the thermostat at 60 day and night. If I get a little sun it stays warmer since I am on the southwest corner of a fourplex.
60 yikes are you wearing the wooly's
I'm in Asheville, NC. Winter is pretty mild. Home built in 2000. 1600 sq/ft. Have separate upstairs and downstairs electric heat pumps. Everything is electric, including the water heater. Winter cost per 1KWH is $0.078 (low).
Damn... utility companies. I'm in California, do everything right and still pay twice you snow covered northern guys.
Not sure; I know a fair amount about HVAC, but designing a whole house system is beyond me. The house is a cape cod style with a living room with ceiling open to 2nd floor loft. See: http://www.xxiii.com/~wcox/p118.jpgJust curious: why do you have 2 heat pumps for 1600 sq. ft? Wouldn't one be more efficient (and cheaper initial cost)?
