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

my co-worker put one in a few years ago at their house out in the country, but they have multiple alternatives for heat when it's "too cold"; the original fuel oil furnace, a pellet stove, a wood fireplace, and electric on a ripple circuit. the heat pump alone would not be enough in this climate where -40 or colder is not uncommon.
