The super-efficient heat is almost like a bonus. Ditching oil, propane, or electric-resistance heat for a heat pump will almost always save money—up to $1,000 per year according to the DOE, depending on local energy prices. It can beat natural gas, sometimes. Modern heat pumps can work in temps well below 0 degrees F.
