If you have AC you already have a heat pump

If you have AC you have 98% of a bidirectional heat pump and likely no way to easily convert it to bidirectional.

Air Conditioning only heat pumps should be taxed extra to entice people to get a real heat pump.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Absolutely agree.

I thought the vast majority installed in the past few decades could do both?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

That really depends on where you live. The option wasn't even mentioned when my furnace was replaced a few years ago, and when I checked my AC model, it was not listed as a heat pump.
