Contemporary heat pumps are great, I agree. Perhaps /u/Traditional-Oven4092 was merely covering the 'power is out' scenario.

True. Heat pumps have come a long way in the last ten years. I am also lucky to live in a town who participates in municipal aggregation. 9 cent per kWh supply rate until the November 2023 meter read. I really hope something changes between now and when the next three year contract is negotiated. Also I am debating on improving the insulation in my unit over the summer. Not much else I could do besides solar and I am not sure I could even do this. 🤔

Seal before you insulate... MassSave will come do it for you. They'll get all of those nooks & crannies where pipes and wires penetrate the wall. They even took care of the electrical boxes for the pull-lights in our closets!?!
