Unfortunately no, but I guarantee you that most people under 30 years of age would not be able to steal it!

 

Pretty sure my dad's friend's house in suburban Cincinnati has a standalone heat pump; If your ex's house is well insulated, it should be fine, but make sure she gets a heat pump with least 9 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor)!

 

Her house is slightly larger than mine and has an attached garage too

 

Heat pumps are not terribly expensive to run, but they struggle when it gets into the 30s and below, and once the electric backup heat kicks in I guarantee you it'll really spin the meter!

 

She said some woman she works with has a family Heat/AC business and her husband came out to check her house and talker her into the Heat Pump.

 

Does her house currently have a heat pump or no?

 

That is what kind of scared me from the idea as I think the backup would be running too much to have any savings.

 

No, just a Furnace and Central Air Unit.

 

So she has gas heat?!?!

 

No, its all electric.

 

And the house currently DOES NOT have a heat pump?!?!

 

Correct, she just has an electric furnace and a central air unit.

 

The house I am in the process of buying has a heat pump with a gas furnace back up.

 

Her house is essentially heated with an oversized one of these...

 

My dream HVAC system!

 

@shakerhood

By all means, your ex needs to get a heat pump! Her bank account will thank her profusely!

 

For some reason I have a feeling she is not going to be happy after its all said and done, she was telling him that she likes to keep her house at 75 in the winter too.

 

In Ohio, she is certainly not going to be doing that with a heat pump!

 

Also, my parents and I never set the heat above 70 degrees! 68 is optimal for keeping the house warm and saving energy! Anything above that and you're (A) wasting money, (B) wasting energy, and (C) putting unnecessary stress on the heating system!

 

She is down by Cincinnati, forgot to ask what brand it is but the guy said he would do everything for under $5K.
