Here are my 4 estimates from southern Ohio contractors -
None of them did a manual J that I know of.

Goodman 3T LP gas 95 eff - 2200
Goodman ARUF Air Handler 374316 3T - $2150
Goodman 3T 14 SEER Heat Pump - $2200
Or
Amana 14 SEER 3T Heat Pump - $3550
Or
Tempstar LP DLX95 Heat Pump - $4850
Or
Westinghouse 13/14 Seer Heat Pump with R-410
92% gas furnace - $5800

Very good prices on the Goodman equipment,compared to central WV prices
If the

Didn't see a question in there.

The question is for southern Ohio near Chillicothe,
Which would be the most economical, an electric
Furnace or lp gas furnace with 14 seer heat pump>

Didn't see a question in there.

That would be hard to guess at, from other parts of the country,, not knowing the cost per unit and the size of house,how well insulated,lots of questions to be asked,where I live in WV, right now its cheaper to heat with electric furnace and a high seer heat pump,, but that could change next year,, around here lp gas is out of sight,wouldn`t even think of considering lp

LP gas is $2.65 gal
Electric .074900

Ranch style house, 2000 sq ft built in 1979
Could probably use more insulation

Call them back get the manual J done. If they do not know what that is get a different contractor. It is all in the other post.

No one here is going to try and run a manual J from this board. You need to be there to do it correctly.
