-40 sounds insane. There are very few major cities with such cold temperatures. Outside of such extreme locations, heat pumps are very competitive to gas heating if not simply cheaper.

Yes I totally understand that there are cold places on earth, but I feel like few here understand the meaning of the term major city./s

More seriously I am sure that 90 percent of the world’s population lives in areas where heat pumps are the most efficient method of heating/cooling.

Welcome to VT. We have heat pumps but also backup heating sources.
