I am going to drift off topic, I am trying to talk myself into buying a mini-split.



Question #1
If Its real cold outside say 2 degrees Below freezing a heat pump may make less heat per watt,compared to electric baseboard heat.

true or false?

Question #2

If I have cold weather should I buy highest BTU heat pump I can afford. The Premise is - I want one sized not for ideal conditions but for my winter heating season conditions.
Who wants a heat pump that only puts out 12000BTU's on a warmish day.
On a cold day it will make what 1/2 that ?

Question #3
How do they rate heat pumps ? as in outside temperature for a Giving BTU output ?
