Jeff5May: your:

"As outdoor temperatures drop, evaporator pressure drops, load current drops, and mass flow through the compressor drops due to reduced suction pressure. Runtime increases accordingly."

Wouldn't load current go up?

I thought it went like this in heating mode:
Hotter Evaporator -> Higher suction pressure -> Lower CR -> Higher mass flow -> Lower Compressor Amps -> Higher COP
Colderer Evaporator -> Lower suction pressure -> Higher CR -> Lower mass flow -> Higher Compressor Amps -> Lower COP
