I recommend Mitsubishi Electric (not Mitsubishi Heavy).
Extremely well made. Much better than LG, Samsung...
Don't oversize it. The smaller the better efficiency.
Run something else in extreme weather.

I'm guessing Tesla HVAC is introduced this year, with installations starting next year.

California Is Closing the Door to Gas in New Homes

"We are really ratcheting up the efficiency across the board," agency Commissioner Andrew McAllister said in an interview. "We anticipate that we'll be providing incentives for the market to scale up its adoption of heat pumps."

'Even San Francisco-based utility Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which has 5 million customers, said that it supports "local government policies that promote all-electric new construction."

Natural gas heating is definitely not something that should be phased out in near future.
It is clean, very very efficient (comparable with natural gas power plant that runs heat pump at home)
and has acceptable long term footprint.

Key is "Climate scientists say that rising production of natural gas "
I agree. But burning it for HEAT does not result in rising production.
Burning it to get power to run AC does due to well-to-wheel efficiency.

Everything has a place. Oil has place for plastics. Gas has place for heat.
Even peaker plants that are hardly ever used but are very important for green grid.
Just stop burning everything to get dirt-cheap electricity.
