I had a couple of questions on the heat pump, I looked at a few sites and am considering one for my place. We're on Propane which has gotten ridiculously expensive lately.

Does yours function as an air cooling unit in the summer as well? What sort of effect has it had on your electric bill (both summer and winter)? It's easy to say the gas bill is down but if the electric bill goes up by the same amount you're not really saving anything.
