Heatpump Model and Installer Research
August 2022, we are looking into buying and installing one or more heatpumps for our oil-heated forced-hot-water home to reduce our winter oil use and to give us some cooling during the summer heat/humidity.

Heat pump devices
| Mitsubishi | high demand, long lead times (8+ months?) |
| Bosch | |
| Daikin | |
| LG | One Lex List member reported issues with non-LG thermostat; system would stay on, but this might be related to the usage learning curve; pressure relief valve issue; be sure to verify experience of installers and techs |
Concerns to address
- Will your electrical feed need to be upgraded? (If you have 200 Amp service, will that be enough to support one or more heat pumps?)
- Temperature range. Make sure your units can handle the temps in our area (eg, -20 to 110F)
- Will the unit work with your existing thermostat or must it be replaced?
- Will (and if so how will) heat pump work with existing home heating system?
- Verify experience of Installers and Tech support
Ideas
- Get wall units for rooms with doors you can close (to isolate heat/cool to the room)
- Heat pump for your hot water. will chill your basement if it's in the basement
