Thats a good find. I would say you would never be able to hack a heat-pump for less and actually get any reliable performance. There are so many unanswered questions. What are you heating with now? What the costs are for your current space heating. Natual gas prices? Electrical cost? Do you burn wood??

Heat-pumps are very efficient. Like all machines they have pros and cons. Durning the really cold snaps the electric elements will need to heat your space but the amount of energy you save for the more temperate weather more than makes up for that.

As opposed to a furnace or other forms of space heating you will have cooling for the summer.

Maybe you can barter for the heat-pump. A little money plus I don't know, home repair, garden work, some sort of trade.

I have a friend that works all sorts of deals Traded a guitar for a kayak he has all sorts of fun just trading people. VERY COOL

Just a though. I hope you can get there!!!!
