We're in a rental for the month in Florida. We're from the midwest, so where gas is used for almost everything. The backlash against heat pumps and electric stoves, ovens, water heaters, etc is normally the ol' "gas gets hotter and is faster" mantra. The unit we're renting is exactly why people think that way. The water heater is old, nor well maintained, and small. The stove is your old coil-top running off a 120v@30A circuit and the heat pump is an old unit that uses the hot water for emergency heat.

So yes, based on this experience it really sucks. That's what you get for the cheapest obsolete tech. It'd be great if people realized there's better electric appliances out there.
