Mini Splits & Heat Pumps in West Virginia

West Virginia is Appalachian — hilly, humid in summer, cold in winter. Charleston and Huntington see moderate winters with lows in the 20s; Snowshoe and higher elevations see genuine winter. Coal-fired electricity means heat pump economics are slightly less favorable than in hydro-heavy states.
