I would think AC is cheaper, because when the outdoor temp is 95 and you're cooling it to about 70 inside, that means the machine changes the temp by 25. If it's 10 degrees and you're heating to 70, the machine has to change the temp by 60. Not sure if this matters, but it seems like AC is cheaper. Could be one pro of me going to Florida, if that's the place I choose! |
Kev, you might recall I was pushing for you to select the coast. I rarely used the A/C because the coastal breezes coming thru the hurricane-windows (make sure you have them) was enough to keep my place cool enough. That's something to consider in your comparisons also as, when it's hot outside you can open your windows to catch breezes but when it's cold - opening your windows will not assist your heat-making machines!
