GE currently sells a heat pump water heater on the market, I’m not sure if it uses resistive heating to supplement the heat pump
I have a portable A/C with a heat pump and it starts to struggle to heat my apartment once it gets down to 45-50F outside and it struggles to cool once it gets above 95F.
Your AC may be undersized if it doesn’t perform well in hot weather, also unfortunately many heat pumps aren’t optimized for extreme cold weather performance. Some are, it’s definitely not a failure of heat pumps in general, but you’ll only find those as permanent install units and they’re usually only sold up north.
Mine is general purpose, I suppose. I’m gauging its performance based on the temp of the air coming out of the unit, I think the room I’m using in is within range of it’s cooling/heating capabilities. Didn’t realize GE was making water heat pumps, nice.
