I love how this subject line typifies thread drift on RPCA.


Yeah.

I think in the US we might say heat pump for a reversable A/C but
maybe folks with those even say heat and A/C according to what mode

Hmm, I'm not sure what that means. In my apartment building, we have
electric heat.


Heat pumps are popular where the need for A/C is high but the need for heat
is not great. In those locations heat pumps are economical compared to
other sources but I don't think they can produce enough heat for northern
locations. I think that is how it works.
