Most heating heat pumps I've seen can ramp up/down as demand changes.
Also central heat pumps (for heating) aren't so common, most are mini-split types with each room separate, or at least a highly variable central compressor than can run on low.
- CWuestefeld 5y agoI don't have any factual citations, but I suspect they're a lot more common than you think. At the very least, they're completely ubiquitous in central Texas. I'd imagine that's a combination of temperate conditions (as opposed to Minnesota, it never gets to the 6F temperature here), and newer construction (older houses are probably less likely to have a heat pump anyway, but with the insane growth in real estate around here, there's not very many old houses).
