Reply to comment by Klikini in New dwellings in Washington state must be warmed by heat pumps, rather than furnaces, beginning in July, state board rules Friday by BarnabyWoods

Are they actually required to put AC in new houses, or did you make that up?

I don't know if it's required but 95%+ of heat pumps that heat also cool. An A/C is a form of heat pump, what we know here as heat pumps are generally reversable so you can use it for heating and cooling.

Yep, I was talking about the reversible nature of heat pumps. If it's going to keep getting hotter here, should be building new houses with air conditioning.
