- krosaen 4y agoCan you say a little more about what you don’t like?
- move-on-by 4y agoWhen it gets very cold, teens during the days and less at night- the heat pump runs constantly. It doesn’t help that the ductwork is in the attic. Eventually- after making the house colder then it was before it cut on- the ‘emergency’ heat will cut on and actually warm up the house. This ends up being very inefficient and expensive. It’s fine for mild winter days, but I question how efficient it’s being all things considered.
- krosaen 4y agoThanks, we’re getting one installed and will have a small gas furnace supplement/ backup for the coldest days. Will be curious how the latest “hyper heat” tech works. They made it sound like we’d only need the backup unit on like negative 10 or worse days.
