Terrible name if that's an actual name.

I also don't understand how heat pumps are more efficient unless it's just because they are slower and less effective. I can see they might be simpler but in extreme heat or extreme cold historically they struggle to give you the rapid final temperature you really want. I can see lots of owners in Phoenix complaining the AC doesn't feel as cold and people in Montana saying the heater stinks. Maybe they have gotten much better with them, but then I have to ask, why aren't they more common in new construction homes in those areas? Seems like they are a more mild climate solution to heating and cooling.
