What is my “best buy” in a heat pump?
This question will have a different answer based upon the needs of the purchaser. In the long run, the more efficient heat pump will provide a very high Return On Investment. For the purchaser who will finance the system, the high efficient unit is even a better buy. For instance, a higher SEER unit might cost $1000.00 extra which would add approximately $20.00 to the monthly payment. However, this high efficiency unit may reduce the power bill between $15.00 and $20.00 per month on the average. This would immediately make the better, higher efficiency unit have the same or lower net cost.
