Many homeowners in Montana wonder if a heat pump will be enough to heat their homes on the coldest winter days. A popular option for homeowners who want a heat pump but who don’t have a backup heating source like a fireplace has been a dual-fuel system. This consists of a heat pump along with a backup heating source such as a furnace.
However, cold climate heat pumps are being designed to work in climates such as ours where temperatures are in the single digits for many days of the year. If you’re still wondering whether heat pumps really work in Montana’s winters, you’ll be pleased to know that today’s cold-weather models are up to the challenge. Cold climate heat pumps (CCHPs) go by several names including high efficiency heat pumps and cold weather heat pumps.
