    True but not everybody has access to a ground source heat pump or can even afford to have one installed, especially with short notice of an upcoming cold snap. I will advocate for heat pumps until I’m blue in the face but the current cost of entry is abhorrent

      I’ve unfortunately lived in 'berta for the past 3 years. Every winter there’s been a week in January where it’s been below -30. Two winters ago my furnace was screaming trying to keep up. The last thing this cold snap should be is a surprise to anyone who lives here.

      space heaters

      The least efficient

      Care to elaborate?

      heat pump can use 1500 watts and use it to pump 3000-4500

      not everybody has access to a ground source heat pump

      You see where you changed the argument from “compare the efficiency of the two” to a discussion on ‘heat pump privilege’? You see where you moved the goalposts?

      Not cool. Stay on topic.
