Central heat pumps have built in electric heat in cases the heat pump alone isnt sufficient.

Even if the heat pump isnt enough all the time, its still better than heating with oil, electricity, gas, etc. exclusively.

It isnt an all or nothing situation.

That, and some heat pumps are better than others. The ones that use geothermal (lines run underground below the frost line) are more expensive but don't have much issue with the cold.
