Also take into account that at temperatures around freezing and with high humidity the HP's heat exchanger may become covered in ice, causing higher power draw, lower heat output, and/or going into defrost mode.

Also, if you hack your own HP, then you can make the HX as large as you like, increasing efficiency.
