Heat pumps for home heating are becoming economically important because they can extract heat from outdoor air and transfer it indoors, and provided the coefficient of performance exceeds 1, they provide 'free heat' compared to electric resistance heating, making them increasingly valuable for decarbonization.

Evidence Quote
“just as there's heat to be pulled out of a freezer, there's heat to be grabbed from the air outside. And so long as the COP of an operating heat pump is over 1, we're getting some free heat compared to running an electric heating element.”
