That 28F figure is the St. Tammany Parish cold-day number a Abita Springs heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 28F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Abita Springs home has 5.9 rooms and was built around 1998, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
