No. A heat pump requires a significantly higher amount of electricity to function.
An average gas furnace blower motor draws around 7A at 120V.
A heat pump can require between 20A-40A at *240V* PLUS the air handler which is the same as above. A heat pump air handler is just a furnace without burners. If supplemental heat strips are needed they can be on a 50A breaker at 240V.
