Actually I think that's exactly the concern - that people won't be allowed to keep their carbon-fuel heating systems, even as a backup.

Then the people who think that are hysterical. Nobody is going to be forced to freeze to death over CO2 emissions.

People (in the US) freeze to death every winter (cut off utilities, or power outages and only resistive baseboard heaters). No regulations needed.

Reliable electricity is hard, and we’ll need it more and more as we travel down our increasingly electric future.
