    Are heat pumps pretty good in the Atlantic region? In Calgary no installer would recommend one, and only one quoted (high) last year.

      You 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.
