Where are you pumping the heat from?
- abfan1127 6y agooutside, just like residential heat pumps.
- emkoemko 6y agoyea but many places in winter heat pumps efficiency goes to basically a electric heater level and if works at all.
- pcdoodle 6y agoNot true. Inverter heat pumps can do 8 or more btu per watt at sub zero temps.
- nnevod 6y agoIIRC, cold climate specific (Mitsubishi Zubadan series for example) have COP of about ~2 at -20C. Even cheaper cold climate pumps do function at -30, albeit with COP barely above 1. So resistive heater should also be present, but it won't be used often.
