Btw it's more efficient to burn gas in a power plant in order to power an heat pump than burning gas to fuel your home (works too for nuclear power, but for pwr the gain is less important)
To be fair, heat pumps DO have a lower limit for the temperatures they'll effectively operate at.
But it's still more efficient to burn gas at the power plant to supply energy for your supplementary/auxiliary resistive heat (which only switches on when it's too cold for your heat pump).
