Heat pumps are horrible - especially for heat.  They cost a fortune to run and don't even warm up that much.  It is a cheap and easy way for builders to get HVAC into some homes.  

I would much rather have natural gas, propane, or oil heat.  Anything buy a heat pump.  Never had one in any of the homes I have lived.  I have had oil and natural gas.
