Doubts about whether heat pumps work well in subzero conditions shown to be unfounded, say researchers

    Home generators are not very efficient, they lose a lot of energy to heat and noise. It’s close to the break even point so depending on your generator and heatpump, you could use more gas than with a modern gas furnace. Even with a theoretical perfect 100% efficient generator, it’s not going to be an order of magnitude less gas because heat pumps are not 1000% more efficient than a gas furnace
