This hasn't been my experience at all. I'm doing a pretty comprehensive remodel and swapping out 3 furnaces and I've done my own manual J/D/S calculations.. I've compared my cost of electricity & gas and while natural gas may be marginally cheaper if I were to upgrade to high-efficiency units, I've decided to install HPs anyways since our electric costs are much more stable here and our electricity is lower carbon. I literally can't find a company to install them. It has nothing to do with callbacks or expense, it's just that most of these companies are staffed/run by older guys who want to install the same massively oversized low efficiency furnaces and SEER 15 AC units they've been installing for the past 30 years.
The only people willing to install heatpumps are from an hour away and who spend their time building luxury homes. It's crazy to me that the rest of these guys aren't out there working with those Federal IRA funds and installing heat pumps left and right. We're climate zone 4 with a design temp of 6ºF, just about every modern HP will spend 99.9% of its time working at full BTU here.
