    That part is true.

    If you have an installer selling heat pumps and regular heaters, they’re gonna be much more incentivized to recommend you a heat pump if they get an extra, say, $1,000 in subsidies off marking it up compared to a regular heating system.

    But without price controls or very strong competition, it won’t end up actually making things cheaper for consumers.
