Heats efficiently up to 34 degrees, or 34 degrees over the outside temperature?
We have a 2,400 square foot house, a heat pump, and very rarely does the emergency kick in. If it is in the teens outside or if it is in the 30s and our garage door has been opened a while it will kick in, but other than that our house stays at 68 with no problem.
