Your Electricity Rate

This is what you pay per kilowatt-hour of electricity through Verdigris Valley Elec Coop Inc. It matters because a heat pump runs on electricity — so your electric rate directly affects how much it costs to heat and cool your home. Your rate is well below average — even a standard-efficiency system will be cheap to run.

What's SEER2? It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio — think of it like MPG for your car. A 20 SEER2 system uses about 25% less electricity than a 15 SEER2 system. At Copan's rate, that's roughly $203/year saved on heating alone.

A ducted heat pump connects to the air vents already in your walls and ceiling — if you have a furnace now, you probably have ducts. It heats and cools the whole house through those vents. A ductless mini-split uses small wall-mounted units in individual rooms, connected by a thin pipe to an outdoor unit. It's ideal if you don't have existing ductwork, or want to control temperatures room-by-room. In Oklahoma: Ducted median $18,512 vs Dual-Fuel Hybrid median $24,760.
