Is this a DIY install, or will you hire an installer?
You have good installers around where you live.
You need to find out the amount of energy your house will use (manual J) and your temp settings etc, then we can match it with your weather data which will give us KWH/year and multiplied with your electric rate will give you $$$/year.
Exactly! and we have been running building optimization models that use manual j etc that has estimated 1000s of utility bills accurately! for years now...Sounds like an installer or pro is needed here that understands that and the inputs/outputs.
I can't understand why anyone be stuck w/GT having not looked at the cost of all options.
