You can get those with a Mitsubishi air handler for $20K but it still won’t provide enough BTUs on cold nights for most homes. If you’re mistaking the heat strip then that’s understandable. Non HVAC ppl who give HVAC advice is why I make more than a doctor each year and why your HVAC company charges 10% more than they should. Really anyone in doubt should call for a quote, you’ll get free expert advice. I helped write the rebates and trained the 3 inspectors in the Energize CT program. That tool is mostly BS as most houses are way more leaky than they know (unless brand new) and it doesn’t take into account the electric resistance that is heating your house after your heat pump condenser stops making 90 degree air. Unless it’s a magic heat pump. [/QUOTE]
