Sales are growing so quickly that some installers wonder whether heat pumps could even wipe out the demand for new air conditioners in a few years and put a significant dent in the number of natural gas furnaces.

Local power storage.

If you're home had a battery bank, it could slow-charge pretty much all the time, then help pick up large on-demand loads like heating/cooling (air, water, food, etc).

Then the power grid would see a relatively steady load from each home with the batteries smoothing out spikes in usage.

Add on local generation like solar or wind to further reduce that load on the grid.
