Whenever anything related to heat pumps comes up, it always feels necessary for me to point out how behind the times the US is. There are plenty of US climates that’d do just fine with a modern heat pump system. This wasn’t always the case admittedly, due to the lower lows. I know it’s a meme at this point, but even on HN I still see a lot of distinctly American ignorance and exceptionalism when people talk about this. I’m thankful for Technology Connections et al for putting the hard yards into getting some nerd circles across the line.
