heat pump/ac

I got 2 a/c's units and just wandering if it would be beneficial to change one a/c out and have one with an heater and a/c together. I know it use less propane but is the cost justified.
Thanks
Randy

  • I think it would take a really long time to recover the $1000 cost of a heat pump, especially in your area.

    Not necessarily. You can have two AC units on a 30 amp system. Usually setup to run one or the other off shore power, both while on gen. From what I've read, a unit with a good power management will allow both to run, but have no experience on this one.
