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

    I have a heat pump heating and cooling my basement in Atlantic Canada.

    Temperatures in the winter hold steady around -20C with some dips a few times in the -40c range when accounting for windchill.

    Works just fine. I keep my basement a nice 21C. Heating works well. I see lots of disinfo posted online about heat pumps not working in the cold and it’s all horseshit. Make sure you’re buying a heat pump that’s built for colder temperatures and you’re golden.
