Heat pumps in Nevada's winters
In Nevada'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 Nevada, 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.
