We got a heat pump last year and the heat pump + installation was around 14,000 Euro (minus ~2000 subsidy). Even with the current gas/electricity prices in West-Europe it currently doesn't work out last time we calculated, I think we'll break even when we are lucky. The price delta between gas central heating and a heat pump is still too large. (Though having a heat pump will probably improve the energy label, increasing the property value.)
However, our main motivation was to stop destroying the planet. Also within ~25 years, the government will require every building to be disconnected from gas (to achieve CO2 reduction goals). And from 2026 onwards, gas heating can still be installed, but it it'll be required to install a hybrid heat pump as well (a lower-capacity heat pump, where the gas furnace is a backup).
