Heat pumps are rather inefficient according to this video [1]. Are you not bothered by all the noise it generates? Why not just use electric heater instead of a heat pump?
Despite the many faults with this video, the person actually mentions the efficiency of heat pumps, which are WAY higher than the efficiency of fuel burners.
> Are you not bothered by all the noise it generates?
Modern inverter based heat pumps are incredibly quiet.
> Why not just use electric heater instead of a heat pump?
Because 100% efficiency is way worse than 300-500% efficiency (i.e. the coefficient of performance of an air source heat pump).
This video is mostly talking about "air to water" heat pumps, in other words, replacing a traditional fuel fired hydronic system with a heat pump. This is not an ideal use for heat pumps. Typical hydronic systems are designed for high water temps, which means replacing directly with heat pumps will not work.
This person's argument is summed up as "we have horribly built houses and we should never improve them, so let's just overheat them so they feel comfortable". Oh and "there's a conspiracy to artificially raise the price of gas to trick us into buying heat pumps".
I've had this video on in the background. It's some amazing fear mongering.
