    I’ll chime in here since I own 2 heat pumps and live in a cold climate (often below 20C). Our house is heated with 100% electricity and after installing heat pumps our power bill dropped by about 18%. That includes all electricity, not just heating, so the gain in heating efficiency was very considerable.

      20C is not a cold climate. If you mean -20, that’s not a cold climate either…

      That’s literally the point where they start having problems, if you bothered reading my other post.

          Your behavior is completely out of line.

          I’m a very big proponent of heat pumps. The original post I responded to simply said all you need to do is bury the lines, which I wanted to clarify was not the only factor to consider.
