How are people with heat pumps faring? (lemmy.ca)

With the cold weather I was hoping to hear of some experiences people have had with their heat pumps.

What kind of backup heat do you have? Are you using it? Is there some temperature where you just stop using the heat pump, or are you even consciously thinking about it?

Thanks!

Not at all... It's consistently warm, the system stops running the heat pump when it's not getting enough heat from the outside unit, and turns on the electric heater.
