When we moved into our current house, we initially used our heat pump for both heating and cooling. During the winter months, the generated heat was insufficient and so we converted over to oil. After the conversion, the heat pump was wired just for cooling and the boiler/furnace was used just for heating.
Our heat pump is no longer operational and we are looking to replace it with one of the systems listed below. Our goal is to use the heat pump as our primary stage of heating (also qualifies us for a reduced electric rate reduces our use of oil depending on the temp) and use the oil as a secondary stage or backup source of heat.
Based on the information below, which is the best rated system for performance and quality? Should I be concerned about installing a 4 ton system when my current system is only 3.5 tons? Also, are these fair prices?
