Default prog. therm. and heat pump questions

I also know of two ground source units that have bit
the dust and were never replaced due to costs compared
to gas here. I have heard longer life with the ground
source units though. The air source units had too many
freeze up problems with rainy freezing weather then the
"defrost" cycle had to be brought in and the unit was
never big enough to handle the BTU load anyway so the
backup was cutting in from timte to time.

Air source were useless in NW Ontario, ground source

worked.

With NG 1/3 of the price of electricity here, the
reliability very poor, and a complete backup system
required anyway, I doubt they will be selling many

of
them anymore.

Sounded good in the 80s though.
