Both work. Heat pumps are efficient for most of the winter; homes with natural gas often keep a furnace or use a dual-fuel setup for the coldest days and ice storms.

Yes. During defrost the outdoor unit melts frost and can release steam for a few minutes. Constant ice that never clears is a problem.
