- Heat pumps are a big thing in the Maritimes of Canada. - Walt_Disney May 26, 09:06 7
  - Biggest for heat. Efficiency is a huge upgrade over electric radiators. The AC aspect is a side benefit (becoming bigger). -- nm - Beaker May 26, 09:08 6
    - We had one installed last year. It seems to work well for heating when temps between -5 and +10C as the radiators came on less. - Walt_Disney May 26, 09:12 5
      - We love the heating aspect, but I think the Dry setting on ours is the best. Takes all the humidity out of the air. We rarely have ours on Cool. -- nm - Shaun May 26, 09:13 4

        Pfft. My Funkos are at the office. Joke's on you. -- nm - Shaun May 26, 09:17
- Silly Spawn, they create a bunch of heat and pump it outside so that you think it's cooler inside! -- nm* - Open Baron May 26, 08:49 3
  - It's essentially a big refrigerator pump. -- nm - Reagen May 26, 09:07
  - I can joke because yes, I shut down the AC system at the office when I left on Friday to save some $. So OF COURSE hot weather finally got here and I - Spawn May 26, 08:57
  - I mean, you’re half right. -- nm - mafic May 26, 08:57
