I live in NC where a very cold day is +20F and I have to say I do not feel my heat pump keeps my house very warm. Maybe l just have a very high expectation of what a warm house feels like, but based purely on comfort I would not pick a heat pump. My house is only about 7 years old, so maybe the technology has improved since then?
Nothing to do with the heat pump, everything to do with building standards over to last couple of decades
Is your house insulated? Do you have modern windows?
Yes to both.
I will say, it is unseasonably cold the last few days (40’s) and my house is comfortably warm. But I cannot imagine going days sub freezing and the heat pump keeping up. But I am a spoiled American.
Are you saying it struggles to meet the temp set on the thermostat, or that you/your spouse sets the thermostat too low?
I am saying the heat pump struggles to keep up with the temp on the thermostat. It runs constantly and cannot maintain the ~70 we have the thermostat set too.
