    Yeah it’s rather unfortunate that heat pumps aren’t more common in the Midwest. As someone formerly from Michigan, I know it gets cold, but heat pumps can operate below 0 easily without aux heat nowadays and you can get gas or electric aux heat to supplement when you get below the operating temps of the heat pump.

    Change is also hard for humans, so companies still throw in forced air systems that burn natural gas or propane.
