True, for those lucky enough to afford that option (what % of homes have HP's?). Then there's this caveat: Heat pumps are not great in cold climates. They are most effective at saving energy when in the heating mode. In a cold climate, however, your house needs more heat as the temperature outside goes down—but the heat pump works less efficiently at lower outdoor temperatures. Below a temperature known as the “balance point,” normally from between 30 and 45 degrees F., supplementary heat is required—and that means expensive electrical heating kicks in. https://www.hometips.com/buying-guides/heat-pumps.html https://www.hometips.com/buying-guides/heat-pumps.html My home town seldom reached 30 degrees from November to April.
