Is a heat pump right for your climate? Heat pumps work best in mild-to-moderate
climates (dual or cooling-dominant). In heating-dominant markets like Chicago, Buffalo, or
Minneapolis, a cold-climate heat pump (rated to -13°F) or a dual-fuel system (heat pump +
gas backup) is often the right call. Ask your contractor for a Manual J load calc — not just
"same size as your old unit."
