Has anyone had experience installing Heat Pumps in New England?

[Tucker Whitcomb]

Hello all, I'm considering installing electric heat pumps in some of my rentals as an alternative to gas boilers. I live in Connecticut so we do get cold winters that can be below a heat pumps minimum heating level.  Is there anyone in New England who's installed heat pumps and what is your experience? I'm specifically wondering about:

1. Did you need a backup heat source and if so, what did you use?

2. Between maintenance and energy costs, was it more or less expensive than a traditional boiler?

3. Did you go ductless of have to install ducts throughout a unit

Thank you all,

Sorry @Bria Johnson I haven't installed heat pumps 🤷 It looks like there are several videos about installing heat pumps over on YouTube though, so while it would take a little time to go through them, the answers might be in there along with other miscellaneous tips.
