    Just curious, so numbers are the deciding factor for heating, not environmental impact?

    This is correct. And given the way the grids interconnect it would be hard if not impossible for me to be able to quantify environmental impact. I would assume even though there is still a lot of coal generation in-use it would still be more environmentally friendly for me to run the heat pump but I just don’t know.

    For example if your were wealthy would you choose lowest impact option, or would numbers still dictate your choice?

    If money was no object I would absolutely choose the lowest impact option. I would even do a solar install even though it would likely end up being a net-loss for my specific case.
