Speaking as someone way, way up in the northern half of the US who replaced his gas furnace with a heat pump (that's tied in to our existing heating ducts), I couldn't be happier. But you go ahead and keep trying to convince people that heat pumps don't work unless you're in the South. And as for "resistive heating strips," I don't even know what those are; we've never had a problem keeping the house warm, down into the single digits of outside temperature. What else is great about our heat pump?
- It's quieter than the old gas furnace
- It doesn't dehydrate our air as much in the Winter
- It doesn't need an exhaust vent, so it's not sucking outside air into the house which is great in the Summer if there's a lot of wildfire smoke in the air
- It cools the house in the Summer (we never had AC before)
