Do you want to know if a heat pump is more energy efficient, or cheaper 
than gas?  Those are different questions.  If you want to know if it is 
cheaper, a big part of that would be based on how much do you pay per KW 
of electricity, and MCF of gas.

Max, so KW for KW would a heat pump use less energy to heat a home than 
just straight electric heat?  With electric heat, nearly 100% of the 
energy is going into heat.  With a heat pump, you are having to spend 
energy on compressors and such just to drive the system.
