New York here, heating via heat pump is about 5x as expensive compared to natural gas. Paid around 100 bucks in gas for 1700sq ft place with 18foot ceilings, where as our power bills are north of 400-500 for 1400 sq ft heat pump set up.

We have a new Daikin inverter heat pump set up in the 1400sq ft place and are actually retrofitting a nat gas solution - when it was 20F it took a full 24 hours to get our place from 55F to 70F because the pump stops for 15mins at a time to defrost.

Greenwash aside, I would not recommend the heat pump solution anywhere north of Atlanta unless you're doing underground coil + nat gas backup.

Also heat pumps are evidently terrible at humidity control - even in the "dry" mode our place would shoot up to like 70%+ RH, ended up getting whole house dehumidifier to handle this.
