Descend to minimal Delta T and you end up competing with a candle. In the mountains, a motel owner switched out his AAA motel nearly new heat pumps and just gave them to me, free.
I took them to Henderson NV and made a neat $4,000 dollar profit, minus 660 miles of dollar ten gasoline.
Sold them out of a bed of a pickup truck. Good thing I had a signed receipt in my pocket - three Clark County Sheriff's cars rolled up certain they had cornered a stolen merchandise fence.
I kept one. The Amana was useless as ---- on a boar hog below 40F. But it sure worked well (at 6,780 ft altitude) on intense sunlight 90F days. These were 240 volt units. Yeah, I can see some uneducated schmuck using 1,900 watts to do exactly nothing.
I ended up trading the Amana in Reno for a swamp cooler that measured 4' on a side. In the Antelope Valley with summer 2% R/H, 115F air entered and 73F air exited.
Damned hard to beat a pot-bellied stove. Just ask any Bluetick.
