Heat pumps are most effective in moving heat from where it is abundant to where it isnt. This means they're best at keeping your house warm in warm weather, and keeping it cool in cool weather.
Then a heat pump won't do any good. Achieving the right temperature is far more important.
no he said "best". they still work, just not as efficiently.
