New heating systems vs forced air?

[Gayle Eisner]

Hi:

I was wondering what folks experience is with the new units for heating that attach to the ceiling? Fujitsu 24000 BTU heat pump/air conditioning vs central  heat through out the house-propane.  I live in the Santa Cruz Mtns and A/c is not used much except for short periods in the summer.  The quote I rec was for 2 ceiling units, (which did not heat/ac the entire house but main bedroom and living room areas) vs the central heat that would do all of my 2 br 2 bath home.  I hear the ceiling units are very economical but the warranty is not as long 5-7 yrs as the central heat -10 yrs- but is more costly due to the cost of propane.  I am planning on turning the house over to a rental property within the next few years but currently my only heat is a wall furnace and a fireplace!  burr! Thanks kindly ! Gayle

Yes. We are in same boat.  Fireplace insert...im really tired of building fires!  Propane is outrageous.  I may go with the units, they have a/c as well and the house is only 1100 sf.  A warm toilet seat really would be nice, tho....lol
