What Buffalo's winter means for your heat pump
In Buffalo, the average January low is -6°C (22°F), and the coldest temperature recorded from 2015-2024 was -21°C (-6°F). That's milder than 45% of the 123 cities we track. Choose a cold-climate model, and compare heating output at -20°C, not just at mild temperatures. Keeping some backup heat for rare deep-cold snaps is common and sensible.

Before you hire a heat pump installer
- Ask for a room-by-room heat loss calculation. A quote that guesses the size from square footage alone is a red flag.
- Ask for the exact model and its heating output at your area's coldest temperature, not just the brand.
- Ask who handles the rebate paperwork and whether the model is on your rebate program's eligible list.
