Energy is energy. Regardless of what the source is, or how long the source runs, etc etc the amount of energy needed to heat the home is constant. So what matters when comparing options is the cost of a unit of heat energy ($/kwh). OP showed the cost of heat energy from gas to be $0.009/kWh . No heat pump can produce a kwh of heat for less than $0.009. Even a magical heatpump that is 400% efficient will need electricity costs to be 3.5 cents or less per kwh to be cheaper to run.
