Heat pumps have changed a lot! My first one was in Iowa in 1977. New house with no gas service because of shortage at that time. Heat pump switched to full electric coil heat at an adjustable temp. It was set at 20 I think when I moved in. I checked the meter one time and when coil kicked in, it spun around 4 times as fast! I eventually decided I wanted to stay warm rather than save money! I bumped up set point to around 30-35 I think it was.
Oh, by the way, the temp of air coming out when on heat pump was 65 degrees! That is HEAT, not AC LOL. Used a blanked from Oct 1 to Apr 1.
