Yup, me too. And with my Nest thermostat, I can manually configure the crossover point. I did so at the economic balance point (where the heat pump is cheaper than my gas furnace).
Is there any capability in having a "smart" economic balance point? IE: Accounts for time of day/market pricing of kwh? I guess there needs to be occasional reprogramming of gas prices?
No, unfortunately. But my gas/electricity is fixed price, so it doesn’t matter. I’m sure this will be coming as heat pumps get more common. It’s a pretty easy calculation to do.
