No one says you have to get rid of the electric base board heat if you get a mini split, keep them as back up. I got an estimate for a mini split on my 1700 sq ft house of under 8K from The Heat Geek in Belmont.
I heat with oil and wood burning stove but I know the mini split will reduce my oil bill, wood usage, and my electric bill in the summer getting rid of the window A/C's.
But I don't have a hot tub and my electric bill is never over $100 per month.
I do have to admit that I hate the look of solar panels of a roof and I would never pay extra for a house with them on the it, JMO!
I'm of the mind set of trying to reduce consumption first rather than trying to find another way to feed it.
