We seem to be having a lot of success with heat pumps here in Canada.

Yeah it's not going to work on the coldest of days. Yes you need to have a secondary source of heat for those days. Yes it uses electricity.

But there many days that you need heating which aren't the coldest of days. And a heat pump will save you lots of money on your heating bill. Electricity can be generated without fossil fuels. The percentage of electricity generated by fossil fuels is dropping.

Also geothermal heat pumps are a thing. They're way more efficient than air source heat pumps on the most extreme days.
