Looking to get some anecdotal experiences from someone living in a cold climate using a heat pump as their main source of heat.

When you did use it in the winter did it ever struggle?

Yeah, when it would drop below about 25-30 degrees F it couldn't keep up and the aux heat would kick in. Which at the time was VERY expensive dual 10,000 Watt electric coils in the ductwork.

Mine is an older model though from 2007 I think. I know the newer ones are MUCH better and some can go sub-zero.
