I went with a 18 seer heat pump with 2-stage electric strips for heat and have been very satisfied with the unit and electric bill about 8 years ago. it will save you money I believe.

Gas heat is by far the most efficient and cheapest way to heat a home in south Louisiana. But if you don’t have gas, you must depend on electricity for your heat. Heat Pumps only come into play during the heating cycle and are all electric. The heat pump unit will only be able to heat your house to 40 degrees outdoor temperature. Then you will need to have auxiliary electric heat strips installed in your electric air handler to heat your home below 40 degrees. A high efficiency heat pump will be less expensive to heat your home vs only having to depend on the electric heat strips with no heat pump. As for as the air conditioning, there is really no benefit to having a heat pump.
