BTW, when Daikin or Carrier or anyothers sell their Heat Humps at COPs of 5 based on a SEER Rating, you can laugh....it's a blended rate and represent ZERO integrity to the actual Heat Pump performance in extreme temps....how did this happen? ASHRAE , SEER Rating are all sponsored and created by WHO? The HVAC good ole boys....so they are blatantly overselling HYPED COP efficiency that are actually 25% of their real COP....we've tested Daikin the highest selling Home Heat Pump units in Spain lab and the results were clear at -20C the COP was 1.25 but SEER Rating star it's 5. If the general public only kew the facts :)
