Yes. I live in Utah and have a heat pump and gas furnace. I am told the heat pump is really efficient at medium-cold temperatures, but not so much on really cold days.
- loeg 3y agoI believe heatpump technology has improved over time. Also, "less efficient but still functional" is an adequate option for really cold days.
- Loughla 3y agoLess efficient but still functional means my home was 50 degree inside instead of 67 when it was -1 for two weeks here. On older homes, with much worse insulation, this would immediately be a problem. Heat pumps are great, but they absolutely need some kind of emergency heat back up.
- loeg 3y ago> Less efficient but still functional means my home was 50 degree inside instead of 67 when it was -1 for two weeks here. No, that's just not functional. "Less efficient" means consuming more joules of electricity but still providing the required function. > Heat pumps are great, but they absolutely need some kind of emergency heat back up. They include it. You were sold an inadequate pump for your situation.
