minus-squarem0darn@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYou can get heatpumps with natural gas backup(/supplement). But that can affect rebate eligibility. My wife and I replaced our oil burning furnace with a heat pump in 2021. No natural gas, but we are in Vancouver, milder winters than Atlantic Canada. Also I did get nervous watching Texans die during their cold snap/ power outage whenever that was.
