Face it, heat pumps are the most ignorant system ever developed and
suffer from a basic design fault. The lower the temperature, the less
efficient they become and nothing will help the electric bill from
skyrocketing. Heat pumps are ONLY effective in the few southern
states where the temperature does NOT go below 40 degrees for any
extended length of time. Below 32 degrees, they are a total joke.
