Unless a rebate of some kind happens, you will not get the needed uptick in replacing oil furnaces. I just had this exact conversation this past weekend with my parents. Their house is built back in the 1950s and has an oil furnace. They had replaced it about 8 years ago and refused to get a heat pump due to their current system still being under warranty. Unless it is a free swap, they will never replace it unless the unit dies and is non-repairable.
Part of the problem is the absolutely insane prices that American manufacturers and installers up-charge for heat pumps compared to non-reversible A/C
In all fairness, heat pumps are stupid easy to install, and many of them come as a pre charged kit that you can do yourself. I understand not everyone wants to drill a home in the side of their house, but anyone that is handy can do one themselves in a day.
