Heat pumps are not very efficient when the weather gets very cold, so they are not installed very often in the north. But they are great for Florida. I believe they are installing natural gas to the Fenney neighborhoods, but I don't know if they are offering the option for a natural gas furnace. Personally, I like the all electric heat pump, water heater, and stove and don't mind at all that my house does not have natural gas.

Thanks for your input & it did make sense, I did have gas heat when I lived in the north & you're right people that had Heat Pumps in the north did say they only lasted about 15 yrs. if you're lucky, but they did say when it got to 0 or below 0 they didn't do a very good job & a good friend of mine did say it was cheaper to use.
Thanks again for your input!
