My 15K Btu Carrier puts out a lot of heat above 38° or so. Below that, the 1500 watt heat strips come on (and don't do much). I think the heat pump option was around $90 or so more than straight cooling on my unit. It seemed like a good deal to me. If you're on park power, and it's above 38°, it makes a lot more sense than using $3.50/ gallon diesel for heating.David
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is how loud they are, the fans are quite powerful and the noise level is fairly high

But the hidden benefit is that you don't hear nuthin' of those scalawag neighbors and all their shenanagans and goings on. It's actually a feature, not a bug! (as they say in the computer world) And it's no worse than summertime, so I'm used to it by now.
