I've lived here in the Villages for 4 years and during that time one year as you mentioned the heat went on a couple of times when it got cold in January and Febuary. But last year, it came on more during that time. One year it went down to 28 degress for a day. So, at the end of the day you really can't anticipate the weather unless you live in a very hot climate.
If you eliminate the heat pump you will lower the initial cost of the equipment but you won't save any money in the actual running of the system in A/C mode.
