Wait until the AMOC collapses. Ever had -20℃ weather for four-plus weeks at a time in Jan/Feb? That’s what you’ll be getting when the AMOC collapses.
Very few heat pumps sold anywhere before 2020 were able to reliably handle that kind of cold. And I’m betting that near-0% of the heat pumps installed in GB are of that kind, even the ones being installed right now.
Our heat pump stops working around 32F/0C. I read that they should work down to around 0F/-17C, but that has not been our experience.
