Cheaper for me to run AC for all of the 3 hot days in the summer than heat the place for 3-4 months tbh
oh I don't have any AC, but I also meant more when I go outside
I installed a heat pump in the house 3 or 4 years ago to cool down the living room and assist the heating in the winter since I have a very labour heavy heating system (yay solid fuel furnaces). Best purchase I've ever made. Of course not an option for everyone, but if you can do it, I definitely suggest doing it. As a welcome side effect, I pollute less in the winter months than without the pump.
Long term goal is to replace the big furnace with a heat pump too, but it would ideally have to be geothermal and since the house is big and the lot is not, it would have to be vertical collectors, not horizontal. Meaning a looooot of extra money spent on drilling the wells for it. This won't help with the summer cooling but it'd be nice not to limit myself to 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night to go restart the fire when it's -30C lol
As for outside: I don't like sweating either, but after an Estonian winter, it's not too bad lol, plus there's usually few enough hot days that you can just stay indoors for those
