COP goes straight to shit at -15, which happens quite often on the prairies. Which might not be a problem on the annual expense, but if you can’t keep your house from freezing up, it doesn’t matter how much or little it costs. You’ll spend way more $ and carbon fixing it afterwards.
Anyone installing a heat pump in cold climates will often have a backup heat source. If you don’t have access to natural gas, heat pumps can save considerable amounts of energy compared to only resistive heat.
