Heat pumps in flats are tricky. Works if you're ground floor with a garden, hard if you only have a balcony (but can be done). Most likely your block will join a heat network, with a large heat pump supplying the block or multiple blocks, like this one!

$700/week in gas is what Marielena my #Uber driver is saving with her @Tesla Model Y!
Her car payments are completely covered by gas savings. She drives 1,000 miles/wk (50K/yr)
