We use heat pumps in the midwest where its plenty cold, mine is a 3 ton,16
seer and heats a 1600sq ft ranch main level and 700 down stairs, holds 69
degs, when the outside temp is 17degs.

What's your Kwh rate? In the NE it can be as high as .18 per Kwh. How often do
your backup elements come on, and how often does the unit go into defrost mode?
Heatpumps in the Northeast are only used because builders are cheap, want the
cheapest heating/cooling plant, and don't want the "hassle" of providing things
like fuel storage, chimneys, or natural gas. In addition, the inside air
handler can be located just about anywhere.
