Heat pumps can’t take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth::By installing a heat pump in his house in the hills of Oslo, Oyvind Solstad killed three birds with one stone, improving his comfort, finances and climate footprint.

Interesting. A close friend is an engineer who designs HVAC systems (industrial but regardless knowledgeable).
He’s told me that the heat pump would pull more power on those days than an equivalent electric only system.
My heat pump definitely uses a lot of power when it’s cold.
I wish I had access to the gas based supplemental heating for it. Economically that seems like the best option.
