I have hot water oil heat now. I plan to install 6kw solar panels and a 13 seer heat pump this year. My plan is to set the hot water oil boiler at 60 degrees and let the heat pump bring the temps up to a comfortable level. How has this comination worked for other people?

1. Is is worth going to a 15 seer?
2. Does 60 degress sound right or is another setting better?

I am askign so that I can plan ahead.

Thanks,

James
