My gf is building a new home. The Mitsibushi air source heat pump system seems to be the most economical way to go for new construction. Far less variables than wind or solar systems. Shoreline Protection Act discourage wind and solar installation. Geothermal is very expensive and payback in years is a ways off.

For backup, she decided on the Rinnai heaters. Conventional in all rooms except for infrared in the bathrooms. She decided to use propane for heat, tankless hot water heater, clothes dryer and for cooking.
