14. Heat pump vs Mini-split

Mar 2023

Spent a few weeks in Wengen, Switzerland a few years ago. Mitsubishi's and Fujitsu's were very popular for heating... in the Alps.
Mitsubishi Hyperheat models are 100% efficient down to 0 degrees F.
75% at -15 degrees. Plenty of headroom for my sometimes cold and increasingly hotter climate in Seattle.
Inverter based compressor driven by an algorithm that "learns" the most efficient method of heating/cooling your space.
Plenty of info online...
This isn't the old noisy heat-pump technology from the '80's.
Good luck!
