If you are looking at replacing or purchasing a heat pump, it might be enlightening to you to do a little web research. I can share this with you though. I have a Lennox..(13.6 SEER) state of the art, top of the line heatpump. If I had it to do over, I would go with a straight cool system with strip heat. Yes, the power company rebate was nice to get, but the cost of the heatpump was such that I could have spent less overall on the purchase, get heat when I want it (not wait 2 hours) and my electricity consumption would have been about the same. Plus, a straight cool system is designed more simply resulting in less cost at the time of repair. Just some food for thought.
Have to keep in mind: Cooling cycle. Compressor and 2 fans run
Heating cycle: Compressor and 2 fans run unless in defrost then compressor runs, 2 fans run AND a heatstrip energizes.
Straight cool : Cool cycle - Compressor runs, 2 fans.
Heat cycle - 1 fan and heatstrip energized.
So much I could tell you...but the main point is this. Talk to some folks who own them and get their opinion.

Trane by far is the best.

Every one that's been scrapped and replaced with forced-air.
