I live in a 3 bedroom around 1800sq ft and pay $350 a month! The electricity has went up a lot since Dec so it’s gonna be expensive. Oh plus your prob gonna have to pay for propane or oil if it’s a house or duplex so that’s another $700 every few months now with half a tank and the prices.

No point in looking at what you could sell it for unless you need to sell it.

Hopefully when you purchased you have a home you can afford and won’t sell at a bottom. If you bought a house in 2007 and held on to it until today you’d be fine, if you tried to flip it in 2008 or 2009 you’d take a big hit.

If you are planning on living there for a long time your concern should be affording your mortgage, nothing but stress and lost sleep at this point worrying you timed your purchase wrong.

I’d look at alternatives regardless of if you decide to go the heat pump route or not

Personal experience: bought my house ~2 years ago and used a little under three tanks of oil for a heating season. Installed a pellet stove this past spring, which I mainly use for heating the home, and haven’t hit half a tank used yet

The pellet stove is paying for itself way earlier than I anticipated. I’m sure people who converted to heat pumps/stoves can say similar things

Zillow uses the prices similar houses in that area sold for to get an avg. Zillow estimate means nothing. Could just mean they haven’t gotten updated sales figures or something along those lines. You want to know what your house is worth hire an appraiser.

I have a Fujitsu. It was operating fine for the cold weekend- except there was a small instance right when it hit around a -35 (windchill) I saw a red light blink for a few minutes on the wall mount then it went away. I have no idea what it meant, but my home stayed warm. Kept it at 72 from Thursday to Sunday. I haven’t seen the red light since. I do have baseboard as a back up, but I use my mini split only. Anyone know what Fujitsu is temp rates at? It’s an older model (at least 4 years old) is all I know about it
