    The northern most states in the USA also have the same arrangement. It’s (historically) in a cooler climate, where a “heatwave” is anything above 80F, so just open your windows if it’s stuffy indoors. Combine that with fossil-fuel heating, and heat-pumps just aren’t a thing.

      It’s pretty much the same here. Fossil-fuel heating is fairly rare though.

      Heating is usually done with geothermal heat-pumps, district heating, direct electric heating, or with regular heat-pumps which are actually fairly popular.
