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

This just isn’t true. I’ve used my heat pump beyond -20 up until -40 and it still worked and heated the air. I don’t know why this is so hard to grasp for some people. I know my house, I’ve experienced the heat pump functioning without any issue in -30 range cold.

Really? Thermometer temperature, not windchill? Interesting. They're only marketed as working down to that cold (with some variation). I'd be worried about damage any lower.
