Isn’t the main problem the cost of heating? In the UK at least a kWh of electricity cost 4 times what a kWh of gas costs. Even if a heat pump is twice as efficient as gas heating, the cost of heating is still twice as high.

They could incentivize it by subsidizing a heat pump use rate. There’s technology to identify these remotely I imagine.
