    I want to understand what happens when it’s too cold out. And just running in pure air sourced HP mode, without supplemental heat.

    Does it keep running at 100% but produces no heat? Limited heat? Does the house get colder and colder until everyone turns into a popsicle?

    Or does it only heat the house to 18c instead of 20c?

    In a climate where the low is -10c, how well does it work?
