Sales are growing so quickly that some installers wonder whether heat pumps could even wipe out the demand for new air conditioners in a few years and put a significant dent in the number of natural gas furnaces.

Maybe try looking it up.

Here’s how to compare baseboards to heat pumps.
Baseboards create heat through resistive loads. As all the energy creates heat, you can say they are 100% efficient, but that is misleading if you take that to be good.
Heat pumps simply move heat, in either direction, to heat, or cool, and they do this using 1/3rd the energy.
Today’s heat pumps work at much lower air temperatures, can also use ground loops, or exchange heat from water bodies. #HeatPumps
