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

    I live in Ontario where we go down to -30C in the harshest conditions.

    We have a heat pump and a furnace and they alternate based on efficiency

    Somewhere around -5 to +5 C it switches from the heat pump to the furnace

    I think you could get by a bit colder but it really loses out on efficiency vs burning gas unless you invest in a geothermal heat pump
