Agree heat pumps just don't work well when it gets to around freezing and when the heat strips have to kick in. Very inefficient and costly and essentially hot coil filament. If you get prolonged days that hover at freezing and below and house not insulated well, vast majority aren't, and your utility bill can become ludicrous but quick. Btw heat pumps do work very well in South. Since live in Atlanta vast majority of people have dual systems and they work very well.
You just have to be smart about natural gas but it is a great efficient and economical resource. There is risk with everything. Everytime you get in a car to drive around the corner to get a gallon of milk your more likely to be killed or maimed then have a natural gas explosion. I dare say for what happened in Deans area there will be some gross negligence uncovered, there is no way this ends well for Columbia.
