Heat pumps in Mississippi's winters
Heat pumps are the default heating in much of Mississippi. 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 Mississippi, 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.
Brief arctic outbreaks bring ice to the north and rare hard freezes along the coast.
