Heat pumps in Missouri's winters
In Missouri's IECC zone 5 winters, a well-chosen heat pump carries most of the heating load, with backup heat stepping in during the coldest nights. Defrost problems and undersized units show up during arctic fronts.
Electric heat is common in Missouri, 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.
Ice storms in the south and sharp arctic fronts statewide produce sudden spikes in heating demand.
