The only thing stopping me from buying a great pump is how unreliable the power grid is in my area. Lines are above ground, with numerous trees overhanging them so a snow storm is high risk for a power outage at a time I can least afford it, as road conditions may prevent seeking shelter elsewhere. Conversely, with a furnace and a small generator to run the blower, I can keep heat on through a couple days without power.
- bagels 3y agoWe lose gas heat when the power goes out (frequently) here too because the forced induction fans need electricity to run.
- JustLurking2022 3y agoYes, but it only takes a very small generator to power the fans vs. a huge one to power a heat pump.
