I know labor is short and all, but how could it possibly take 6-8 months to get a heat pump serviced??

Heat pumps are great.

However, manufacturers are still developing and fine tuning heat pumps for cold markets. This is not a mature product category yet.

As a result, parts are hard to come by as manufacturers make major changes from year to year in their product lines. Many lesser brand units will be functionally obsolete in less than 10 years as part support will not exist.

Only purchase heat pumps from big name manufacturers and use an established local company that plans to be in business when you need service and maintenance.

Good luck finding service for your heat pump if the installer is no longer in business.

There are major differences in heating/cooling appliances made for and sold in the US and those used in the rest of the world. Additionally the size, type and construction of housing in the US does not make for an accurate comparison with Norway 🇳🇴
