Questions for people who control their environmental temperatures with heat pumps (and only people with first-hand experience):
1. What is the optimal operating temperature range for your heat pump? (I.e., lowest temp it operates in efficiently for heating, highest temp for cooling)
2. When you can't use it because temperatures are outside that range, what do you use a back-up heating and cooling alternatives?

@ShaulaEvans@zirk.us hi I’m in the center of France and I have an air/water heat pump, so it doesn’t do cooling This isn’t one of the models that they call high temperature (counter intuitively) that can operate efficiently at really low outside temps This model can work until -5°C or so, but it draws more and more energy (I’ve seen 120 kWh days)it has to rely on another heating system to supplement itself on the worst days Outside of extreme days, it’s great
