Yes, these are all definitely issues. None of them should have been difficult to solve a long time ago though, there was just a lot of inertia behind it. And there still is. Even now I'm talking to an hvac guy who seems generally knowledgeable and even he said something to the effect that "there isn't any heat in the air below -10" which is just not true at all. It's less efficient to pull it out for sure, but there's always energy to suck out of air. Anyways, like I said, even up here where people barely know heat pumps exist there's still over 200 days of the year where even a shitty heat pump would do a decent job. Still people argue it won't get used. (all of this is ignoring the fact that we should be doing even moderately expensive things to get off using natural gas if we can)
