    The warmer your winter climate is, the more practical a heat pump becomes. In sub-freezing weather, it won't be adequate alone and will require either a supplemental or auxiliary heating source. In warmer heating weather, the heating output of a heat pump can exceed it's power consumption by as much as 4 to 1. Go with the R-410A, as the phase-out of R-22 is driving the price up. Any qualified contractor should be able to provide energy facts to assist you in your decision.
