I don't know about particular brands or models of heat pumps but below is a good place to start if you are hoping to use the new tax credits.

This IRS page gives info on which heat pumps qualify for up to $2000:

https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/energy-efficient-home-improvement-credit

And this website https://www.energystar.gov/about/federal_tax_credits/air_source_heat_pumps explains:

In general, all ducted heat pumps that have earned the ENERGY STAR label are eligible, as well as certified mini-split systems (non-ducted) with:

SEER2 > 16
EER2 > 12
HSPF2 > 9

Among the models that earn the ENERGY STAR Cold Climate designation, eligible systems are:

ducted with EER2 > 10
mini-splits with
SEER2 > 16
EER2 > 9
HSPF2 > 9.5

and where to find more. It seems credits abound but I don't pay enough taxes to really benefit, sadly...both ways, for me and the country. Rebates are administered by the state and Ar don't believe in that thar climate change thingy.

for a rental I own (my mom's old house). I kind of regret keeping the gas backup, but it should rarely be used. Also got a heat pump water heater for that house.

For my house, I have a wood stove that is good as a backup. I plan on getting a Bryant heat pump with a high HSPF (so it can heat even during the coldest winter in Delaware).

Although ductless mini-splits are the gold standard, I think. Can do it all with no heat loss from leaky ducts.

Mini splits won't work in our house but our ducting is in great shape.
