… has cut my annual electricity costs by nearly 55%.
… works fine in both summer and winter, the house has never been more comfortable.
… was substantially more expensive than the old style, but because my power costs are low, I may not fully recover the cost.
… only requires I rinse the outside unit off with water two or three times a year, and replace the furnace filters.
… has a heater unit in case we get way, way down to beyond -30c, but that seems profoundly unlikely anymore.
