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.

Very true.

On a side, remember when Biden promised to not use executive orders then signed about twenty when he got sworn in?
Media never pounced on his for that!

“Heat pumps are ok in the southern latitudes.”

Newer cold-climate units work down to - 22 F. Fine for occasional dips. Extended ops at those Temps should have a geothermal exchange.
