Heat Pump
Are heat pumps worth the added cost and are they dependable plus which brand should I stay away from?

We have one in our S&B and it works great. Our heat bill is roughly half of a relative that uses oil heat. It heats about 3500 sq. ft. with no issues down to some raelly cold temps. Even when the temp went down to -20C it worked. Hasn't been colder than that here on the east coast.
I am guessing that colder than that the Auxilliary heat function would have to be used. Also works during summer as our air conditioner. We set ours at 22C and and the whole house stays comfortable.
Have had it for about 7yrs plus the original owner for another 3. Even with lots of windows(cold sink) it works fine.
As for RV models, I have no experience with them.
Yours works to -20C? Ours at home works down to 0C and it is minimal at that point at best.
Saying that we do have one in the camper and it works really well, however we only camp in temperatures above freezing so that is definitely a big part of why it works well.
