I've had heat pumps for 49 years, first in Cary, N.C. and now here in the villages. Never had a problem keeping warm and never had to worry about having a gas leak. Nine out of ten house fires in the villages were due to gas leaking or set off by lightening hitting the gas lines running thru the attic. Great idea to run gas filled metal lines where lightening is must likely to strike.
It was reported that in Texas, the natural gas well heads froze up and the gas fed electric power plants had to shut down. So much for gas being a reliable source of power.
I was told a few years ago that no new houses below 466A had gas as a choice. That must have changed.
