Oversized heat exchangers help everything work more efficiently. The question is more dependent on your environment. If your outdoor temperatures stay above 40 degF, you shouldn't have problems with the unit freezing up. However, as outdoor temps approach freezing, it becomes impossible to extract heat without forming frost. Once the evaporator freezes up enough to impede airflow, the unit is done pumping heat until airflow is restored.
