    How did your solar fare during the January '24 freeze?

    An air-to-air heat pump in your area is not recommended due to the low COP (less than 1) at the low temps you get however a water-to-air heat pump COP can be as much as 3 or more.

    I cover all around and it has helped a lot in not having to drain the pipes as they never freeze now. You may be closer to me than that as I am only a mile from the parish line.
