Re: Do Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps cool equally well?

And now the discussion has gone full circle.

Not to mention of course, completely off-topic!

how's that? a geothermal system cools better than an air source AC, so the subject turned to that, and then details about the various geothermal systems had to be discussed to be complete!. there's no sense in using something that may not be beneficial for various reasons.

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.

How's that? 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?

Are you from an alternate universe where "yes" means "no"? Or vice-versa?
