I just had one installed in Canada during that -30C > -50C cold snap on the prairies. I paired it up with a backup LNG furnace for the coldest of cold snaps we get. It’s only been a couple of weeks but it has not warmed up enough for the pump to kick over. I plan to keep detailed notes this year to compare data.
A lot of the people I know and work with think these things are a fad/gimmick/wont work in Canada… I aim to prove them wrong!
-50C !!! When did that happen?
A couple of weeks ago on a Saturday. The actual outside temp was -50 overnight but “feels like” -60.
Here is a comment with a picture of my weather app from that weekend.

I'm curious about a similar setup, but want resistive electric heat instead of a gas furnace so that I could completely eliminate the gas bill since you pay fees wether you use gas or not.
