That’s a great question, and one we hear a lot at Kearney HVAC! It’s been a long-time myth that heat pumps don’t work in northern climates like ours. The confusion arises from the way that heat pumps operate, but new, cutting edge heat pump technology in Mitsubishi Electric mini splits and heat pumps make them a logical and efficient choice for homeowners from the North Shore of Massachusetts to the New Hampshire Seacoast. 

How Do Heat Pumps Work?

First, it’s important to understand how heat pumps work. During the warmer months, heat pumps cool you down by absorbing heat from the air inside your home via a refrigerant line and moving it outside. In the winter, the process is reversed, and the heat pumps extract heat from the outside air, then bring it inside to keep you warm. But wait, you say, how can heat pumps get heat when it’s freezing outside? The answer is that heat pumps are very well tuned to extract even small amounts of heat in winter air to provide warm and efficient heat in your home. 

Enter Hyper Heat Technology for Advanced Efficiency

That said, heat pump efficiency decreases as the temperature gets very cold. What sets Mitsubishi Electric apart is its Hyper Heat technology, which gives their ducted heat pumps and mini-split heat pumps greater efficiency than their competitors in cold temperatures. In the coldest weather, Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps can continue delivering reliable heat when temperatures are as cold as -13° F!
