This is very informative. Can you do a video on the pros and cons of a mini split versus a central air heat pump system? I chose a central air system because I already had ducting and wanted better whole-home filtration.

Modern gas furnaces have a thermal efficiency of 95% and higher. They are now so efficient that they can be vented with a plastic pipe. The power plant that I worked at for 20 years had a thermal efficiency of about 30% on a good day and the best fossil fuel plants are close to 65%. Please spare me the wind and solar I worked it for too many years.
I’m simply saying that the heat pump is an option but its no where near as efficient as modern gas furnaces.
No matter what the US department of energy says.
Good job on the video by the way.
