Myth Busted: Can a Heat Pump in Cold Weather Really Keep My Home Warm?

Here in the greater Rochester area, we know cold. When you think about upgrading your heating system, the first question is always: Will it stand up to a Lake Ontario winter? For years, the traditional answer about a heat pump in cold weather was “no.” Homeowners were told they only work in mild climates.

That is simply not true anymore.

Modern heat pumps, especially the advanced systems from Mitsubishi, are engineered specifically for our climate. This isn’t your grandmother’s old-school heat pump that fizzled out below 40 degrees. Today’s Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pumps utilize revolutionary Hyper-Heating INVERTER® (H2i®) technology. This tech allows the system to pull heat from the frigid outside air and maintain 100% heating capacity down to temperatures as low as 5°F, and continue heating efficiently even when the thermometer plunges to -13°F and beyond.

The reality is that even on the coldest day, there is still thermal energy in the air. Mitsubishi’s state-of-the-art compressors work harder and smarter to gather that energy and transfer it indoors, all while using far less electricity than traditional furnaces.
