Not only that, but since a heat pump is at least 3x as energy efficient as the most efficient gas furnace, using one results in about 1/2 the E2E CO2 emissions as the gas furnace when the grid electricity being consumed is natural gas based. If you live in an area with abundant zero emissions electricity, then you are heating without any C02 emissions at all.

That said, we should do both heat pumps and insulate better.
