Just had a heat pump installed (Vaillant) - at -1 degrees outside I'm getting a COP of > 2.6.

So they are ready.



> -1 degrees outside

-1F is -18C

-1C is 30F


They're from London, so it's the "not even cold but it's negative" rather than "actually cold and heat pumps aren't a good idea" measurement.


for those places where the scop is low, you have to drill for heat. If that's not possible then maybe a system where you can burn wood to suck the heat out of that.
