Heat pumps have a solid max heat output that cannot scale as easily as gas heating. So without insulation they can quickly hit a limit. The upper limit for gas system is limited by how much gas can flow through a pipe, which is a huge amount of energy. The upper limit for a heat pump aystem is set by the compressor capacity, which is in turn set by the electrical circuit, and relative temperatures.
