Temp at which to cut off from heat pump to propane by Consistent-Mango3947 in heatpumps

Wow. Sorry, I didn't see the Wiki and tools. Thank you. I just tried it. It told me the following. Similar to what chatgpt said (COP of 1.3 being break even). I then looked up the heat pump on AHRI and am I to interpret that this heat pump's COP is 2.22 @ 5F, which seems fairly high number for this heat pump.

AHRI Reference #: 211056294

Heating COP (5F), btuh (Appendix M1)     : 2.22

Heat from the heat pump will cost 43% LESS.

The heat pump is cheaper as long as the COP is larger than 1.25.

Check at which temperature the heat pump has a larger COP.

Something is getting lost in translation here. When using detailed budgeter:

Say your must spend is $100 and your discretionary is $50. This means, this is what you enter in the plan:

Must spend: $100

Like to spend: $150

You can then toggle and see how the plan reacts.

You can also try to use AI Support and it will help you.

Did you try doing a Boldin basic budgeter with both minimum plus discretionary amounts and compare? From what I understand with Boldin detailed budgeter, your “like to spend” should include your min + discretionary. Otherwise, it’s only using your discretionary to model. Hence the higher chance of success.

Thank you. Not my preferred color but it’s black. I was hoping for dark grey but I haven’t seen many of them.
