Nothing. I have an 8 unit building that is relying on heat pumps in New England. Tomorrow workers will start installing a solar thermal array to complement an existing solar PV array.

I'm doing it to minimize the growth of utility cost in the future. The only reason it's not wide spread is inertia and poorly informed consumers.

This only reason this works for me is a large investment in insulation.

Investing in insulation, renewable energy, and heat pumps. That is all it takes.
