for a rental I own (my mom's old house). I kind of regret keeping the gas backup, but it should rarely be used. Also got a heat pump water heater for that house.

For my house, I have a wood stove that is good as a backup. I plan on getting a Bryant heat pump with a high HSPF (so it can heat even during the coldest winter in Delaware).

Although ductless mini-splits are the gold standard, I think. Can do it all with no heat loss from leaky ducts.
