I have made a successful offer on a house. When I had initially walked through with realtor, I looked at the furnace and thought something was amiss. Then during inspection, the inspector told me that it was a heat pump, and it's only about two years old. My first reaction was "on no - electric heat". But later I Googled and found a page that has a cost calculator.
It looks like it will be ~20% less to have a heat pump. Also natural gas prices are forecast to continue up and make the heat pump even more cost effective.
I still do wish there was gas service to the house. But I doubt that I want it enough to pay for the installation.
