Heat pumps are very efficient . . . down to about 35 - 40 degrees. Then they need a supplemental heat source. Very frequently it's an electric coil in the ductwork that's triggered when the heat pump cannot keep up. Very expensive. The best scenario is to have a heat pump for A/C and heat down to about 40 (great for the south), and then have your gas furnace kick in. I"m putting in exactly that system into a house I'm building in the northeast. The cost difference between central A/C and a heat pump is not that great.
