Heat pumps in Louisiana's winters
Heat pumps are the default heating in much of Louisiana. They rarely face real cold, so a freeze exposes problems like a defrost board that has never been tested, strip heat that hasn't run in years, or low refrigerant.
Electric heat is common in Louisiana, so heat pumps often replace or back up electric resistance heat. Keeping the heat pump working instead of falling back to strips makes a big difference to winter bills.
Hard freezes are rare but serious; homes built for heat can lose pipes and heat pumps in a single cold night.
