Heat pumps in New Hampshire's winters
Heat pumps in New Hampshire face design temperatures far below zero (IECC zone 6). Cold-climate models are the right fit here, usually paired with backup heat or a furnace in a dual-fuel setup. Mount the outdoor unit high enough to stay above drifting snow.
Where natural gas is common, as in New Hampshire, dual-fuel systems pair a heat pump with a gas furnace. The thermostat's balance point decides when the furnace takes over, and a wrong setting is a common cause of high bills.
