Heatpumps in Winnipeg - yay or nay

I'm shopping around for an AC, and a guy I talked to mentioned potentially using a Heat Pump in pure AC mode as an alternative to the conventional AC unit. Anyone have this setup? Or is this just a pointless move right now also considering it might be a bit of unknown territory.

Why is the normal range wrong? Or am I wrong?

I got my blood work done 4 weeks ago because I had a bad ankle flare up. My uric acid showed up 444umol/L. This was within normal range since normal range was 210-540. Doctor ruled out gout and had me referred to sports medicine. Fast forward to 3 days ago, bad toe flare started and now in immense pain.

Reading more on gout apparently I am in gout territory for uric acid, converted I was at 7.4mg/dL. With normal ranges with meds being targetted at 6 based on my reading. My question is how are the ranges in blood work so far from gout range, doctors then often say things are normal when they are clearly not? Or am I understanding this wrong, if so please enlighten me since two doctors have already ruled out gout for me based off the blood readings but it's almost 99% gout.
