So not sure the heat pump model would help you much during winter.

It gets cool here, and occasionally "cold," but not by northern standards.

We had 10 days last Fed that were below 32F. Memphis proper had over 100 broken water mains. Nothing built for "severe" cold like that. Water pipes not buried below frost line.

I)'ll have to take a look for which model I have. Might be awhile as I am really tied up this morning.

They do have AC u its without thd heat pump feature.

Amd, if you have a large home, >1 would be needed.

Try 100w daylight (5000k) LED bulbs Zorro Nov 2021 #10

I also use the daylight bulbs. blueinredohio Nov 2021 #12

Be careful... some of the new bulbs are meant to be used in upright lamps. 3Hotdogs Nov 2021 #11
