-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.

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

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.
