Thank you for the replies.

Can someone tell me if the heat pump heats the house similar to the way
AC cools the house? If so, is it safe to assume that the "hot rooms"
in the summer would be cold in the winter?

The comments on the variable speed units make me nervous about buying a
unit like that. On the other hand, all of my quotes included VS
because of the uneven cooling in my house.

My gut tells me that a standard system will make my house cool in the
summer and warm in the winter. But, my gut also tells me that we wont
have a glut of natural gas anytime soon.

If I will have decent and even temperature with a heat pump, I will
probably go that direction. With that said, would the VS haters
continue to advise against that solution?

Thanks again guys.
