    Last time I looked in to it I’d still need a supplemental heater for when it’s too cold for the heat pump to be effective (there were a handful of weeks just this/last year where we would be in trouble) in Chicago.

    Ground source makes a lot more sense for new construction where you’re already digging.

      Backup heat is standard with all whole house heat pumps. You pick electric or gas based on cost.
