I always hear about the inefficiency of heat pumps in below freezing temps but mine keeps chugging away.
At about 30 degrees, temps at the registers coming into the rooms are 90°+.
Fired it up last week at 0° and it was still pushing 80°.
Well, it's going below -10° tonight. No idea what the heat pump will do.
I hate to switch the furnace to EMER heat knowing how much electricity those heat strips in the air handler use.
The furnace is secondary heat. I have 2 wood stoves running which can handle our heating needs so long as I keep wood in them. I'm thinking of the wee-hours of the morning when the stoves die down.
