My thinking is that this way I’ll have a/c across the entire house in the summer instead of just my 2nd storey, and since hot air rises, keeping my main floor/basement furnace as gas will get me through these -35 cold snaps without tripling my electric bill.
It makes sense in my head but I’m sure I’m missing something. Thoughts?
