[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a heat pump, especially an older one or one that is not designed for very cold weather, you should switch to emergency heat until the temperatures come back to normal. Emergency heat uses a lot of electricity (if it is the electric kind) but probably less than a heat pump that runs 24/7 and still can't heat the house.[/quote]

This is not good advice. [/quote]

Its spot on actually and the reason why emergency/supplemental heat was included with them.  You just need to remember to switch them back over when the temperature get back up to 30.[/quote]

Not PP, but unless I have a fragile pet or sick relative, I'd rather not pay a ridiculous extra for temporary heating. I would rather invest (more dollars) to insulate my house, or I would move to a better insulated house. At least I get something tangible in return down the road, like a more valuable house. But auxiliary heat is just throwing money out of the window.[/quote]
