Electrification

Operating Hours

Even cold climates can benefit from heat pumps
- Most have few operating hours at very cold temperature
- HP can operate most of the time, yielding substantial CO² reduction
We can rely on an alternative source of heat for the small number of operating hours a year such as gas or electric resistance heating, when the HP has less carbon benefit

This way, even cold climates below HP minimum temperature limits can achieve significant decarbonization
Making positive steps toward decarb goals doesn’t mean you have to 100% electrify right away

Capacity Boost Technology

Finding Balance

As temperature drops, so does capacity, but the building heat demand is increasing
Even if the heat pump can still operate, additional heat may be needed on cold days

Innovating Past the Limits

Daikin capacity boost reduces use of supplemental heat
Inverter technology reduces capacity loss as temperatures drop, allowing the HP to meet the load at colder temperatures

Daikin capacity boost technology and outside air preheat can enable operation in colder climates.
