    I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. When the temperature drops below about -20°C, our heat pump stops working and the system switches over automatically to pure electric heat. It makes our electricity bill triple. Fortunately, that doesn’t happen very often.

      The person your talking to comes from what I like to think of as a “survivable human climate”.

      A heat pump can’t fix your ancestor’s mistakes.
