I did some more reading on this and it seems that you can avoid this issue on reversable heat pumps (ones that also work as air conditioners) by reversing the flow and using heat inside the house to melt the ice.

So it should always be at least a tiny bit more efficient than resistive electric heating unless its about -20C outside.

Air source heat pumps also have the problem that their (outdoor) radiators freeze is cold weather, so they have to run an electric heater (outdoors) to keep melting the ice.

This lowers their cold weather efficiency even more, I imagine it might even make it negative (You have to put more energy into stopping the radiator freezing then it can…[Read more]

That depends on the heat transfer coefficient, which is determined by the design of the heat pump, and mostly by the temperature and humitity of the air.

Under an ideal situtation the coefficient can be a 1:3 ratio, but that’s when the air has a lot of thermal energy to extract. That’s why they are used as air conditioners.

No, that isn’t how they work at all.

The function of a heat pump is to move thermal energy from one place to another.

To heat the inside of a house, they must move thermal energy from outside of the house. If it is cold outside (when you normally want heating) then there is not much thermal energy to pull from the air to move it inside.

Not…[Read more]

Actually they are probably worse than normal electric heaters as the compressor (the thing that consumes most of the electric) would be outside of the house.

If you have an electric oven you might as well just use that as a heater.

My understanding is that air source heat pumps are more or less useless as heaters as when it is cold outside (when you usually would want heating) there is very little heat energy that can be extracted from the air.

They work fine as air conditioners, but for heating they aren’t much more efficent than a normal resisitive heater. You need ground…[Read more]

I don’t agree that being able to survive on your own is the correct criteria.

Humans don’t really meet that until at least the age of 3 years. You also raise issues about whether people in comas or other vegitative states have human rights or not, as they would be unabled to survive on their own.
