a 4 ton Florida heat pump with a single open loop well.

works well until there is a power outage which we had for 15 days after Sandy. Backup electric generation is on my list but you cannot get away with a low wattage generator. Something around 10,000 watts or more is required.

Otherwise it has been a good system and saves us a lot on gas/oil.

I am not sure what tax credits are currently available but we got 30% of the installation cost and since it was new construction that included the heat pump, all of the ducting and controls and the well. All in it cost around $30,000 (before the tax credit) for the system to heat and cool 2700 sq ft.
