Heh, most people in the US don’t know about them and when you ask an HVAC contract about them they will give this argument about how nobody likes them because they don’t spew out hot heat and if they install one then the consumer will say they don’t work because they expect hot air and even if they do end up installing them they will insist on also installing a gas furnace and set the cut off to 35-40 degrees because they haven’t kept up with the technology and don’t realize that modern heat pumps can work well below zero F and even if it goes below that temp for a couple hours a year it doesn’t mean you will freeze.
- nabla9 5y agoHow the US can be so technologically isolated from the rest of the world? Here in Finland heat pumps are everywhere and 40% of new houses have geothermal heat pumps (they are like heat pumps, except you bury coils into the ground and they work with good efficiency even in extremely cold weather).
