> Heat pumps are nice and efficient, but expensive to build and reliant on grid

Expensive but falling as scale increases and government subsidies help drive scale.

Reliant on the grid - natural gas relies on the grid to move the air too. Not sure if this is the case all the time but mine won’t run at all without power, so unless you are referring to wood fired stove, natural gas furnaces are also reliant on the grid from what I can tell.
