I lived in a townhouse once that had 2 shared walls. I wondered if the house wasn't warmed or cooled, if it would leach any significant energy from the surrounding units. Would be interesting to see how cool it gets in the winter with zero heating.

But , I have gas heat . Except for the 12,000 BTU mini split A/C - Heat Pump we installed this summer . I have been experimenting with the HP ( living room and dining room ) . So far , I think I like it .

Heat pump should be more economical until about 40 degrees outside temperature I believe, depending on local utility rates.
