We certainly haven’t. What happens when you go awy for 2 weeks in January? Temperature outside is sub-zero. House cools down to not much above zero; temperature outside rises to the same. There is no heat to transfer into the home.
I believe this is frustrating technology - you’d need a backup heat source- like the one you’ve just switched from.
Like EVs, we’re not there yet., imo.
