\I have a newer house (2001) in the hills of Maryland with a heat pump. I was initally put of by the system and intended to "upgrade" it to an oil-fired furnace 
(my major experience being with heat pumps from the mid to late '80's). I have been extremely impressed by the performance (and the reasonable costs) by this 
newer generation of equipment...
