Wow. So much good information from all of you!
Thanks AC, Randen, & Jeff !
I went back and put in an avg temp that we've seen in this area this year. And that definitely changes the heat load calc page.
It went from about 11000, to roughly 8200.

(7,235/8200) * 100 = 88%

If I'm looking at this correct, this could provide quite a bit of our heating needs during most of our winter months, which haven't been getting that cold. True, I may need another unit for additional supply when things do get colder. But it sounds like this could be a proof of concept that this actually works.

Randen, loved the installation pic! My wife has deemed a small 6x6 storage room where all of this will be installed in, my "command center".
This large round device at the bottom of the pic, is that your heat pump?
That looks darn impressive!
I wouldn't mind checking more details on it. Have you already posted info on here about this? I'm wondering because it looks familiar, like I've seen it before, but I can't put my finger on it.
