Is purchasing a home with an Electric Heat Pump in Central Indiana an economical choice?
I keep hearing that the Forced Air Gas is the way to go for colder climates. However, we live in all electric apartment and our highest electric bill was 2 in the summer, while I have had family who have complained of gas bills 0 and up. So I have been leaning towards Electric Heat while house hunting, but want to consider Forced Air as well.
What is your experience/preference?
Thanks
