The article doesn’t go into it, but a key advantage they have is that heat pumps move heat, rather then trying to generate it. So they can move a lot more heat into your house than would be generated by running the electricity they use through a resistor. This makes them effectively more than 100% efficient (the exact amount depends on temperature) as compared with burning a fuel or resistive heat.

    Same with Solar Panels, Home Battery Storage system, and honestly just completely redone insulation along the perimeter and siding.

    You know what, on second thought, I would rather just move tf out of this place.
