In New Zealand I have seen small heatpumps in bedrooms, but I would have to say it is extremely rare.
But we have many very toasty hallways leading to cold single glazed bedrooms!
- thehappypm 4y agoThat might be a climate difference — it gets below 0 Fahrenheit here every winter, as I understand it, NZ is quite a bit warmer, so maybe the strategy of “heat the core of the house and let it radiate out” works.
- teruakohatu 4y agoThere are historical and cultural reasons for our poorly insulated and heated homes, but "heating the core" is not one of them. In the last few years the central govt has brought in legislation requiring landlords to heat and insulate homes to a certain standard.
