What unit would be best for San Diego County where no heat is needed at night and only needed from about 5:45 a.m. to 9 a.m.? Average temperatures are 69/45 in winter rarely freezing. We have had solar for 20 years and make 1300 KW extra a year. Would like it to be energy efficient, though. How big are the units? We have a gas heater in a "closet type area" now. Cement slab. One story. 1,600 sq. ft. We have some backup batteries but they don't do heater and A/C. Is the heat pump also A/C? Just starting to look to switch to electric as gas rates doubled last year. Thanks.
For your application a heat pump and air handler would probably be best. An electric furnace would be cheaper to buy, but more expensive to run. You would need to call a local contractor to do’s load calculation on your house to determine sizing and price.

We have radiation heat. Would those furnaces be compatible?
I hope you mean radiant heat. None of these furnaces are compatible.
Me and my wife was talking about getting a new electric furnace but I'm not really sure where to go to
Contact your local hvac dealer and have them come out and give you a quote
I don’t think this would work in -45 Canadian weather. 🤔

You need a local contractor to perform a load calculation on your house before a unit could be recommended.
What about Heat Pumps?
I recommend you watch our heat pump cost video
Natural Gas increases 30% today...hello electric and goodbye exhaust
yeah the price of propane is nuts, we just got enough to get through winter, after that I'm going with electric/woodburner waaaaay cheaper
My electric rate doubled on 6/1/2022.
Advantage of gas with, a battery it can keep your house warm in a blackout, if that's a frequent problem in your area
