    Thanks, didn't think heat-pump use that much electricity. The A/C on full blast could drain the HV pack in mins. The A/C also use the compressor to cool down; reverse of the heat pump. Ok, it makes sense now... just have to connect dots. :)

    Yep, just think of a heap-pump as running the A/C in reverse. :) Pumps the heat in instead of out.
