I’m sure your average lows are much higher than that. These systems have automatic switch-over so you’ll never be aware when it does. If your average lows are higher then of course a heat pump works in your climate.
Yeah averages are way higher than that. My point just was that saying they don’t work in cold climates isn’t quite true. Yes, there are locations with way colder climates than this but if Finland isn’t considered a “cold climate” then I don’t know what is.
Heat pumps are super common here. Many houses just have a electric resistance heating so people switch to heat pumps to save on electricity.
I posted the exact temperatures where the efficiency breaks down and if your sustained averages are higher than that then obviously it doesn’t apply to you. There wasn’t any ambiguity after that when trying to figure out what “cold climate” refers to with respect to heat pumps.
