I'm not sure that's right. I've lived in a lot of houses and units in Australia, in city and country, and none have had air conditioners, assuming that's what a "heat pump" is. The houses I've stayed in in NZ didn't have them either.
[After googling what a heat pump is] I didn't know a heat pump is a thing, like an air conditioner but can heat as well. I don't remember ever hearing about them! (I'm 50)
- smcleod 5y agoReally! That's interesting. I'm 34, and from memory (which might be a bit rusty) of the 6 houses I've lived in in NZ 4 of them had heat pumps (aka split system aircon), and in Australia I've lived in 4 houses and all of them have had them.
