Why can't I find a heat pump with a good SEER rating? The USA has a
law stating 13 minimum. Yet here in the UK, I looked at Panasonic and
they're all 7 to 11!

Which suggests that the seasonal weighting parameters used in the US ,
Europe and possibly UK are all different which will give very different
figures.
So if he compared the EERs, he'd get a fair comparison between those
sold in the US and UK?
Does the US have a regulation on minimum EER?
Presumably you mean the UK. No they don't.
Presumably because we don't use AC much.
Yeah, likely.
Once they take over for heating, we'll no doubt get something.
In the EU anyway. Less clear with the UK. The UK
isnt so keen on mandated minimum efficiencys.
Most obviously with the stupid EU mandate with
vacuum cleaners.
