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

It's because we use 120/240 volt 60 Hz two-phase.Â* Your single-phase 50
Hz is less efficient.


That is cobblers. I've seen efficient motors runbing off 3V DC.

And that doesnt support the contention either.
