Although the heat pump is the most efficient design, I'm assuming that like here, electricity is such a rip-off that it's more cost effective to run a combustion device. My house has both a heat pump and natural gas heater, and it's half the price to run the gas heater even with half the heat going up the vent pipe.

My next fridge will be gas...
