This. I am moving to Maine in January. Every single new or renovated home that we looked at there has heat pumps. We've had to hold off on buying till the spring, but I can guarantee the home we buy will have a couple heat pumps.

The other thing I'll note, as someone with a parent and grandparents from Maine, and someone who has spent a lot of time there: a huge portion of Mainers are thrifty beyond your imagination. They're not using pumps for reason other than finances.

I once showed up at a shopping plaza on the outskirts of Portland and every single store sign was shut off at 6PM and the business I needed to visit had all its inside lights off, too. The owner was standing behind the register in 40 degree weather with a veritable parka on and the smallest little space heater running just enough to keep him from turning into a popsicle. I told him I'd almost gone home cause I thought he was closed. He told me it saves a lot on the electric keeping the lights off. I legit used a flashlight on my phone to search the store...
