One homeowner offered a review after their first winter with a new heat pump system, sharing their experience in the r/heatpumps subreddit. 

Last September, the original poster said they had a Jetson heat pump installed in their roughly 2,400 square foot home. While every contractor had different suggestions, with many recommending units with fossil-fuel-based backups, the OP wanted to move away from gas. 

That led the OP to an all-electric heat pump model. While some online users worry that modern heat pumps alone can't keep up during the frigid months, the OP's testimony says otherwise. 

"Now that we have weathered the winter, I can say we are super-happy with it!" the OP said. 


Heating can account for 40% of your home's energy bill, and making the switch to a modern, highly efficient unit can be one of the smartest ways to fight rising utility prices.

The OP's unit was installed in only a day, and they have been happy with the value of their Jetson system. 

Other homeowners in the comment section added their heat pump testimonials.
