I live across the sound from you.

I moved here 6 years ago and my house has one. I lived at my old place in Seattle for decades and payed $150 - 200 per month to heat in the winter with electricity. I also suffered the hot days of summer with no air conditioning. I would not live without a heat pump now.

My biggest utility bill this winter was $145, for electricity and water combined. Summer bills are about $85 for water and electricity. My heat pump doesn't cost very much to cool the house.

They are expensive, but you only live once. You might as well live comfortably year round.
