Default Critiques of this quote?

Anyone have a response to this quote? Some context: I am in a very mild Southern Cali coastal climate, I am sealing and insulating the house, it is currently 1472 sqft and will expand to 1900 sqft, power rates are $0.14/kwh for first 307 kwh and then rates start going up until the jump to $0.25 and $0.28 after 610kwh/month. I plan to install solar power. I do not need cooling much more than a couple days a year. This will mainly be for "winter" heating, when lowest nighttime temps will get down to ~40 degrees F.
