      AC in the US aren’t (usually) heat pumps. The most common setup here is a furnace for heating (usually natural gas) plus AC, connected to the same central air unit. Heat pumps are pretty common, but not nearly as universal.

      Just mentioning it because “AC” isn’t usually used to refer to heat pumps here.

          I’m aware, but when I talk to regular people here in the Midwest, they will not be thinking heat pumps if you call them AC. I’m just trying to make sure everyone is on the same page.
