yeah, my bad - sory for that.
I quickly scanned this spreadsheet and noticed the 65% 70% 75% as "base =
model options"
as well as the highest SEER of 15 - that's about 6 year old data =
collection, SEERs (and HSPF) are higher now than what this .xls has =
available. The more efficient figures and calculations need to be =
included.

ICP model numbers - I'm not familiar with; this topic is not about ICP =
but whether there is a more "generic calculator" where not only fuel =
type/current costs can be "plugged in" but also equipment size/SEER/etc, =
blah blah.

> BTW, those are current ICP models... up to 95% efficiency.

>it's been awhile since I've been in this group.
>curious, is there a generic operating cost calculator - heat pump versus fossil
fuel - that allows you to adjust you HP cut-off setting based on current fuel
prices (electric compared against gas/oil/propane)

>I found this, but it's an Excel file and formulated against a particular brand
of equipment; also the efficiencies are a bit low to todays' standards.

>maybe I'll just have to tweak it and rerite it for WWW access with mySQL
database for table storage, but I'm really too busy (maybe too lazy) to attempt
it now - many customers of heat pump with gas furnace installations are
requesting this "tool" especially those purchasing Carrier's Infinity systems.
