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

I’m in central Ohio as well and had one installed when my coil died in my home a few years ago. It works fairly well down into about the low thirties, but beyond that the aux heat (gas, I kept my furnace) flips on.

There is a point where the temp dips low enough to render mine useless, but we have some at my office that work in the mid to low twenties(!)
