I may roll the dice. Friends here have a heat pump and say it's OK---but they also have a wood stove. I think I'll keep the natural gas for my cooking (until I upgrade to an induction range) and HW (until I get a hybrid electric HW heater). The dryer in this house was never hooked up to gas for some reason, but I usually hang my clothes out anyway (probably 90% of the time). There are only maybe a few weeks here where the temp is EXTREMELY cold for extended periods (like late Jan/early Feb).
