Heat pumps in Tennessee's winters
Tennessee's mixed climate is ideal heat pump territory, and heat pumps are common here. The weak spots are ice storms, which can encase outdoor units, and sudden cold snaps that push systems onto auxiliary heat strips.
Electric heat is common in Tennessee, 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.
