My dad builds houses in northern Ontario and heat pumps seem to be getting more popular on new builds. This is a place that regularly gets below -30C in the winter. The heat pump (usually a heat pump/AC combo unit) by itself doesn't work in these conditions, you'll always pair it up with another system like a natural gas furnace, or resistive heat electric. My personal heat pump is an older unit, it works down to -10C then then forced air electric (resistive) furnace kicks in. That thing is pricey to run, so I also light up the wood stove at that temp to reduce the costs. |
