When you have a cold, your body's immune system fights the virus by releasing chemicals called pyrogens, which raise your body temperature. This elevated temperature creates an inhospitable environment for the virus to replicate, helping your immune system work more effectively. The heat is a natural response to infection that aids in fighting off the illness.

Why is it that my heat pump can't keep up with the cold weather?

A heat pump may struggle to keep up with cold weather because it becomes less efficient as the temperature drops. Heat pumps work by transferring heat from the outside air into your home, but when it's very cold outside, there is less heat available to transfer. This can make it harder for the heat pump to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.
