Sadly no. You'd think with all the dead forests they'd be paying people to clear them. I might actually go help some friends tomorrow who are fleeing from a forest fire south of here.

If you get 4 feet of snow you put the outside unit more than 4 feet off the ground. Wall based mounting is typical in most of the world - I'm not sure why we mount most of ours on the ground in the USA.

There are days where it can get as low as -40°F. I guess I'd have to research what heat pumps would keep the home from freezing in a worse case scenario. There have got to be heat pump units that switch to resistance heat when it's too cold for the heat pump to opperate.
I had never heard of wall mounted heat pump unit. Thanks!
