I don’t think thats how it works and heat pumps aren’t that much more expensive than other new heating systems, and over long time they are cheaper even.
How about we tax billionaires enough so that the government can train thousands of people to be heat pump technicians and potentially own their own trades business, and then also pay to buy and install them?
How about we tax multi millionaires enough that billionaires don’t exist?
It’s expensive to get them installed. Instead of ducts running all over your house, the refrigerant line has to run from the outside section to the inside section. It costs as much to get one of these as a normal central air system because it’s also complicated. Heat pumps are more efficient in certain situations so that’s the tradeoff.
Central heat pumps are a thing. You are thinking of mini split systems.
Even if we are talking about mini splits, they’re not hard to install. Any adult with a drill can do it.

Mini splits come in air source systems, and can be quite efficient.
