Id put me in a large gas blue flame wall heater ($200) for emergencies when power is out then id hit getting it sealed up and insulated good.
My house isnt all that well built and has single pane builder grade windows. All its ever had is a heat pump with a gas wall heater like mentioned.
You wont run around naked with a heat pump like you can with a gas furnace but to me its ok.



Up to $2000 or 30% tax credit for qualified heat pumps of 15.2 seer 2 or higher. TVA also has active rebates up to $1500 for qualified heat pumps.

It’s fairly common right now that my homeowners are qualifying for the $2,000 tax credit and getting a check from TVA within a few weeks for $1200-1500.

TVA also has rebates for doors, insulation and windows, but they aren’t near as lucrative. Same for the federal program. It’s better than nothing, though, and every little bit helps.

The hottest thing going right now in terms of bang for your buck is Ductless Mini-Splits. If someone has a bonus room, add on, man-cave or etc. that they want to condition. I can get them $2k in tax credits and $1250 from TVA. In most cases that leaves the homeowner with a net investment of around $1750+/-, if the tax credit benefits them, on a fairly normal installation.

Not knocking your business, but it seems like the government and TVA are having to pay folks to put in heat pumps. And they know they will get their money back when the bills come in
