Doubts about whether heat pumps work well in subzero conditions shown to be unfounded, say researchers

Dr Jan Rosenow, the director of European programmes at the Regulatory Assistance Project and co-author of the report, said: “There has been a campaign spreading false information about heat pumps [including casting doubt on whether they work in cold weather]. People [in the UK] don’t know much about heat pumps, so it’s very easy to scare them by giving them wrong information.”

    The place I live has a heat pump, it’s great. Doubly so because it covers air conditioning needs too. People compare the price of a heat pump to a furnace but it should be heat pump vs furnace and air con. With climate change, air con is more of a necessity, especially for vulnerable people.
