    Please understand that the electric furnace would not run all year long. It would only run during the fall and winter..

    I hope everyone enjoys the video.
    I want to mention in this video that I did a calculation estimating the electric furnace running year round.
    The furnace would only run during the fall and winter usually.
    All questions are welcome. Thank you so much to everyone who comments likes and That watches the video. 😊

    Calculating the daily runtime at 6hrs/day would be dependant on insulation and heat gain. 6 hours a day brakes down to 15 mins per hour. I often work on older homes so generally calculate the runtime at 20 mins/hr. Have even seen worse in old trailers with the uninsulated ductwork under the floors. Heat gain and loss is the real enemy... next to the thieving electric companies themselves

    Good Evening Mr. Tad. I always love your videos. I think you are a great example of good people. I am not a fan of mini splits. Any money the customer saves on electricity, they better put in a safe place. They will need all of it and more for the very high cost of maintenance and parts on those units. They also need to make sure they keep some paint around to match their wall color. They'll need it. I hope your evening is happy and healthy. 🙂

      I’m trying to figure out why they would need paint to match their wall color? Can you please elaborate on the comment… I’m just confused on why they would need paint to match the wall color… Thank you.

      Thank You, Tad. I just can't tell you how many mini splits I have gone on where the evaporator drain pan stopped up and poured water down the wall under it. I am 68 and from the old school. I just think the customers are paying way more to stay comfortable. Mini splits have complex systems with sensitive electronic equipment in harsh climates. That is not a healthy combination. I am from the old school though and I don't like electric vehicles for the same reason. You are an awesome human being. I know your family is really proud of you. Thank you for taking the time to reach out. 🙋‍♂️

    On top of TaddyDigest comment; I doubt anyone as of 2024 has a 100% electric heat (resistive). Even older cheaper mobile homes where central / ducted heat pumps. I agree there are some older homes without ducts. Mountain cabins.. where mini splits are good solutions. OR spot cooling like that hot sun room / play room off the back of some big house that is always hold / cold. A mini split head on that sun facing wall is a good solution.

    Great video Tad, love the variety of hvac content. How efficient is the electric furnace compared to the mini split and is the mini split able to provide the same heating compared to the furnace?

    I have a Gree 3 ton 20 seer inverter, average watt usage when peak around 1.2kwh but it can come down all the way to 600 watts that is the beauty of an inverter mini split, even if I do the calculations for 1.2khw x 12 hrs a day 14.4 kwh at my current rate is around 0.13 cents (power usage and also what the charge to generate) I can run my mini split at 77F and it will cost me $56 dlls.

    Hi Tad…. Nice video,… But I’m just trying to follow everything… Did you figure that they were running the electric furnace year-round? Typically they would only be running the electric heat in the winter time… Not sure if that’s a mistake in your calculation, or not… Just wanted to raise the question, you have a good evening

    • @TaddyDigest
      @TaddyDigest  Месяц назад +2

      I should have been more specific about the fact that it's only gonna be running in the winter

    • @artovalehtelija

      Cooling is more likely 1/2 and heating 1/3 kw per cooled or heated kw..

    Really wish you were in my state!!!
    I was quoted $30,000 for a mitsubishi hyper heat mini split with 4 ceiling cassettes all 9k.
    I have a 2 bedroom 1 bath home.
    $30k for a home my size, 1200sqft, seems crazy to me.
    Any thoughts?

      Do you have forced hot air. Any ductwork existing. You can put an inverter outdoor unit and feed a cased coil that sits on your furnace.

    No way your math is right. $.08/kw is probably just supply. Your electric company charges you for delivery, too. For instance by me, they charge $.10/kwh for supply and almost another $.10/kwh for delivery. Makes the math so much more in favor of heat pumps
