I have new builds all around me.
I always suggest a backup redundant heating system.
Central heat and add a monitor heater, pellet stove, wood stove, or even baseboard electric heat. Just something.
Of course, most don't install such. Too much money I hear - as they have their $800,000 mcmansion constructed.
One neighbor who just had a new Cargill home constructed - put in a super high efficiency system put in by a well known heating contractor.
I have seen over past 6 months - the heating contractors truck in their driveway at least 8 times. May be making "adjustments" or some such issues.
