The supplemental heat has never kicked in at our home. Last winter was cold by FL standerds. The heat only came on at night and maybe a few daytime runs. The homes are well insulated for the heat of the summer but that helps out in the winter as well.
The pod seemed expensive to me so we rented a Budget Truck in Maryland. It worked well for me. Budget said I needed the truck for 5 days minimum I did the loading in one day, driving one and a half, unloading to garage of rental house in a few hours. Had friends and family help load, and hired 2 guys to help unload when we got to TV (ask your agent for help, they have people). I drove the truck down a week before my northern closing so I was sure everything was out of the house in time for a final walk through by the buyers. I then flew back to Maryland, closed on my old home and drove the car down.
