Do Heat Pumps Work in Chicago Winters?

Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to extract heat at very low outdoor temperatures. This guide explains how they perform in Chicago winters.

Low-Temperature Performance

Cold-climate heat pumps carry a low-temperature operating rating. Performance drops as outdoor temperatures fall, but modern units can still heat at sub-freezing temperatures.

Backup Heat

Many Chicago heat pump installations include electric backup heat for the coldest days. A technician sizes this during the assessment.

When a Heat Pump Fits

A heat pump suits well-insulated homes and homeowners wanting combined heating and cooling. Request an assessment to see if it fits your building.
