We are used to keeping the temp cooler in our house so in the winter we have it around 62-66. We had high efficiency (90-95%) gas furnace and AC put in several years ago when they gave the tax credit. What is interesting is that the gas/electric bill for the heat in winter is around 33/66% gas/electric. It costs more to run the blower fan for the furnace than the gas to produce the heat. Our highest gas/electric bill in 2015 so far was $187 back in Feb but most of the time it's around $70-100 a month from May to Oct. I wonder if the heat pump is a similar scenario with the cost to run the pump vs the cost of the heat source.
