Default Heat pumps are inadequate

My HVAC friend told me most people are unhappy w heat pumps because they take longer to cool and longer to heat, and people expect faster results. Also, heat pumps have a shorter life span and don’t bring the expected payback toward the initial investment. He would never own a heat pump.

I had solar in Greyville Portland, Oregon to help heat my 36x16 pool and solar usually gave me a free 10 degrees, natural gas heated the remainder. I always believed it was a good investment, especially so in sunny Florida.
