I'm glad you did your homework. You also have to take into consideration the annual maintenance cost as well. Connected to a heat pump, both geo and air, you will see significant savings annually. My client in Gilmanton has her Mitsbushi system provide heat down to 20 degrees outside temperature and turns on the system 2000. That is where the engineer determines the efficiency of the two units. I was told there is software in the work that will determine the crossover based on the unit cost of the two fuels.

I'm sure PSNH did thier homework before converting to NG. PSNH is confident that they will hold prices to where they are today and possibly lower the prices should NG prices drop even lower. Folks who are looking at converting thier energy supplier from PSNH may want to find out where the energy is coming from. I am going to stick with PSNH. Once the Bow plant is converted and NG prices come down I believe PSNH will come out on top.

My ski lodge in CO is heated with LNG. It is not cheap, but on the long run it is lower than oil. At 9,000 feet I don't see the need for a heat pump.
