Yes, heat pumps are the way to go with electric heat. My current and last 3 houses had heat pumps.
In our current house we replaced a gas furnace with a heat pump. Our January bill dropped from $170 for gas and electricity. Since we put in the heat pump our January utility bills dropped to $95. And that is for a poorly insulated house built in the 70's.
No bad and we get A/C in the summer as a bonus.
