Recommendations for a Cold Climate Air to Air Heat Pump

HU-749034558
5 years ago

Hey all. I purchased a ~1000 sq foot condominium outside Boston Massachusetts last year that has an air to air heat pump. It's a closet style heat pump that is half outside my unit and half inside through a hole in the wall. It's connected to ducts to heat all rooms in the condo. Cooling in the Summer is great. Problem is, it does not heat very well in the colder months. It starts using the alternative heat source (coils) once the temperature gets to the 40s. I know many heat pumps are known for struggling at lower temperatures, but from what little I have read this should be in say the 10s or 20s, well below freezing, not at 45 degrees. The heat pump is over 15 years old, so there is no more warranty. I was told my unit is likely smaller than it should be for my condo size.


Here is the heat pump in question:

Given all this, what is the best air to air closet style heat pump on the market that can deal with very cold temperatures?
