A load calculation on your house: its orientation, insulation, window area, ductwork and the humidity it has to handle. Not the tonnage of what is there now, which was often a guess, and not floor area alone.
The long cooling season here favours efficiency more than most climates do, so the case is genuinely stronger. It still comes second to correct sizing and sound ductwork, because a high-efficiency system fed by leaking ducts is paying for performance it cannot deliver.
Both work in this region, and the choice usually turns on how much the heat actually runs. A heat pump earns its difference over a long heating season; here that season is a handful of nights, which narrows the gap considerably.
