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!


Its a longitude thing. High ratings are only achieved between about 70
and 120 degrees west.
A bit like music power really.


I'll bet that in the USA they may not be quoting the spec for heating,
just cooling


The USA has snowy parts does it not? Have they not realised you can reverse those AC units?
