They save a lot of money when we do need heat here in the Villages since the newer systems generate heat efficiently all the way down to 0 degrees and some even lower so at 30-40 degrees they are very efficient compared to what the builder gave us. Simple is a single stage unit no arguement. Multi stage is a nightmare and I wouldn't get one of those. Variable is relatively simple inverter technology that is pretty main stream these days and the cost will come down more over time as it already has.

Are you saying that you get a different tax credit for a variable speed heat pump than for a single stage heat pump? I am not an expert on Federal tax credits, but it looks like you get a credit for 30 percent of the cost for either system as long as you have the proper SEER rating.
