This is just nonsense. I live in Canada and we’ve had them for decades, I refuse to believe that just next door they weren’t “commercially available”. It’s also way colder here, the weather argument is a bit ridiculous. Norway was apparently installing them in 2004.
Try talking to contractors in the US. 2/3 don’t have experience installing heat pumps, and will try to discourage you from doing so as a result, or charge a huge premium for learning how.
Oh so now it’s not the weather, or the commercial availability, it’s “the contractors” and “the experience”, or “the premium”. Like these other countries didn’t have to overcome these challenges with monetary incentives.
This all still means the US is decades behind everyone else lol

They’ve been a thing in the Alps for over a decade too. Not sure why the yanks are disagreeing with you oh wait see my original comment 😂

You can get them now, albeit with effort. You couldn’t get them 15 years ago in most of the US — the manufacturers didn’t have distribution.
So you mean the US is more than a decade behind other developed countries
What a roundabout way to come back to my original comment
Oh wait they don’t understand roundabouts either 😂
