Hey sorry for the long wait!
I see others here have answered so I'll keep it short! Here is the link for the free consult, yes they will just help you! https://energizect.com/clean-energy/heat-pump-consultations
As someone else said, your heat pump is an air conditioner, so it would work well to cool you as well :) they are incredibly efficient !
Please let me know if there is any other questions and I can do my best to help!!

Heat pump is a great choice. Counter to what you might hear, studies in New England show that the heat pump can keep your house warm in the winter - check out Maine. However, you must make sure it is sized correctly and that your house is weatherized
The utilities actually have a free heat pump consultation service as well, it's informative and easy
Something to consider is that as of Jan01, you can get a 30% tax credit on heat pumps and there are other state rebates for them
Final consideration: life cycle analysis is showing due to electric rates in CT in particular, it's not yet cost effective to buy one without also getting solar. This doesn't mean it will always cost more than oil, especially with volatile oil prices, but if nothing Changes right now your energy cost may go up just a little. Not definitely, but possibly.
