operating cost calculator

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.

ATTN: Paul you got something like this available? (cross-platform / cross-browser)

peace, G7W

Might want to become a member and check

That's why I made my own...

BTW, those are current ICP models... up to 95% efficiency. So, I don't understand how they are low for today's standards? :-)

care to share? or you're welcome for the link

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.
