Heating design temperature: 34F.

That 34F figure is the St. Charles Parish cold-day number a Luling heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 34F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Luling home has 6.3 rooms and was built around 1984, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
