Only person I know of lives in a small apartment with a wall-mount heat pump that heats and cools. The apartments were originally resistive (electric) heat.
I asked him what happens when it gets to 0F like it does here often in the winter. He said "Resistive heat comes on, energy bill goes back to 200 a month."

And this is the gist of it all. Most of the time they are way more efficient, sometimes they revert to resistance heat. I’ve seen models be efficient down to near freezing, and some that will work at lower efficiency down another 10-20 degrees.

Yes. He said that it's amazing when it's like it is right now, 30+F outside, hot days are no problem for cooling. It's just those winter days that it has issues.
