The house we bought a few years ago has a heat pump/furnace hybrid thing going on. On some of the colder days, when it's using the heat pump, it doesn't feel quite as warm.....but that's the trade off you make ( you aren't going to be able to get the same level comfort for the same price ). WE like the system though. It works, and I think it's cheaper.
Also, if you are ever cold, you can just hit the e-heat setting to tell the furnace to cut out all that Al Gore shit and to kick that furnace on baby!
