And you should give yourself a warning for antagonizing me.

It appears that you've confused yourself. There is no "differential" when we speak of gas, oil, or manure. These fuels are consumed in the process of making heat and the efficiency of the conversion is less than 1:1.
In the case of heat pumps, run by electricity, the efficiency of the device is based upon the differential between the temperature of the two fluids...........in this case, one is the ambient air, and the other is the hot water.
And, no, I don't deserve a warning for pointing out the obvious.
