Reply to comment by thesilversverker in Heat pump for sole heat source? by Syrhen

Wrong btu output drops massively when you approach the op limits my 36k btu rated to -30 puts out 8k btus at -20.

Try fuckin heating your house @-20 with 8k btus, so many uneducated jackasses in this sub its ridiculous. And i install them for a living

Why the shit you people talking -30 like it's at all common? Yea, cap drops there, but we might get 8 hours of -30 temps in a decade?

Checked mine - i'm still getting nearly 30k/36k at -15f, the record low point this winter. Which was like maybe 8 hours. Since we expect these temps, any competent installer would size for the realistic scenario.
