That 21F figure is the Cabarrus County cold-day number a Kannapolis heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 21F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Kannapolis home has 5.1 rooms and was built around 1989, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
