Is a heat pump less expensive for heating as compared to a fuel oil furnace?

That depends on what the cost for each particular fuel is in your area and the btu yield of each. Example: 1 gallon # 2 fuel oil yields 140,000 btu and 1 kW=3413 btu. So you would compare the cost of 41 kW vs 1 gallon fuel oil. Plus you need to add the kW usage of the electric auxilliary strip heater you`ll need with the HP into that cost. Plus if you live in a colder climate, most of the time you will be running on the strip anyway which is far worse than oil. HP`s are not usually effective below 35*F or so outdoor temp and for that reason if you are in a northern climate you should not consider it. But that is just my opinion.
