Pretty much because he asked if heat pumps cool as good as non-heat pumps. The answer is a simple "yes." The ensuing geothermal discussion regarding open vs closed loops has been interesting, but it doesn't have any bearing on what he asked. |

A air-source heat pump will cool no better or worse than a non-heat pump. |

Except his answer to the question was incorrect. A heat pump in cooling mode is no better or worse than a non-heat pump. The units are basically the same except for the reversing valve and some controls. |

But how do you get "incorrect" out of what he said? quote: [laserfan] asked if heat pumps cool as good as non-heat pumps. The answer is a simple "yes."
Are you from an alternate universe where "yes" means "no"? Or vice-versa? |
