With heat pump option.

Depends on where you are, how severe your climate is.

Here in red hellhole tn, mine does great for me. My elect bill wss literally $62. And I run dehumidifier function 24/7.

Inverter means it runs all the time, at whichever speed is necessary to meet demand.

You have to pick cooling or heating optimized system & make sure it is sized correctly. There are some freebie hvac sizing apps online to give you an idea of size.

Most heat / cooling loss is through ducts. Eliminate ducted system & wa-lal! Super efficiency!

Our elect went up 40% over summer during hellish heat wave over 100F daily for weeks.

Keeping my house near 65F, my highest elect bill was $119. 👍

Although not the brand I was able to buy, Mitsubishi is hands-down the best.

The units come with lines filled with refrigerant, so you could install yourself, although lines DO need to be vaccumed to remove air.

Noritz is my tankless water heater. Superb company! Will warranty if you self install. Many won't (Rinnai is good but they only warranty if professional installs). Noritz is every bit as good, imo.
