Had to choose between a heat pump and a new gas furnace...

My old HVAC finally died last month during that hot spell in Austin. I really wanted the heat pump for lower emissions but my buddy who installs them said it'd struggle in our winter nights. Went with a high-efficiency gas furnace instead and now I feel guilty every time the pilot lights. Still saving up for solar panels to offset it but man, that choice ate at me. Anyone else compromise their green goals because of local climate conditions?

Man you're overthinking this way too much.

But what if they're right though... you ever actually sat down and thought about all the little details they mentioned?
