If you live in a region that experiences every season to the fullest, wintertime can certainly test your home's HVAC system.
For one homeowner, a cold snap encouraged them to monitor their heat pump to see if it was still working properly. They then shared the results with the r/heatpumps community.
Not only did they stay nice and toasty, but their system also hardly broke a sweat to bring the warmth.
"Mitsubishi system is working great to keep a nice 69 degrees F inside despite the 2 degree weather outside. Getting 100 degrees from the supply right over the air handler," the original poster wrote. "Three-ton system is only pulling about 3.5 kW to do that. No regrets switching from gas."
During winter, heating systems can run for long periods to bridge the gap between frigid outdoor temperatures and the desired temp inside your home. This can cause a traditional furnace to use more energy, driving up your monthly bills.
Upgrading your HVAC system is one of the best ways to lower those energy bills while still fighting off Old Man Winter. Trusted brands such as Mitsubishi make it easy to find the right efficient HVAC option for every home, including cost-effective mini-split systems.
In the comments, a number of users shared their own experiences with heat pumps, including the same HyperHeat system used by the original poster.
"Hyperheat going strong at -14F in New York's Adirondacks. Don't have my heat coil wired in yet," one person wrote.
