Where in North Carolina? I've grown up and west NC, have since moved to mid-NC, never seen a house with a heat pump.

The Sandhills is full of them.

Interesting. I wonder if they'll ever become common in the greater Charlotte area.

The climate is perfect for them. We've got folks from New England or Canada talking about adopting heat pumps, where it really does get so cold that it's a concern. Our +30F winters are perfectly acceptable for heat pumps year round, and most folks have forced air central AC anyway. It's really a no brainer here.
