This is still a problem. But I think they are improving. The good thing about western Norway is that it seldom really cold. Efficient temperature may be low because of the wind, but that does not affect the efficiency of the heat pump much as long as it is well maintained.

Good choice. Are they making better heat pumps these days? I lived in the northern USA for a while and a heat pump that was in one place I lived was only effective down to some lower threshold temp, then the electric heat (ouch, expensive) would take over. -- Someone handed me a picture and said, "This is a picture of me when I was younger."
