Heat pumps are ok in the southern latitudes. If you can supplement it on really cold days with a wood stove of some size, it's a good choice. You just have to understand it runs almost all the time, and the heated air will only be about two degrees higher in temp than ambient air.

I use a heat pump for my gunnite pool. The heat pump heats very efficiently for that application.

Got up over 32 during day, but COLD at night.

Flower garden looks like it was nuked.

Got propane today-—80 gallons @ $2.50 a gallon===$200.

Power bills would be triple that -—or more
