But I'm using a 9,000 BTU Sanyo mini-split, and it has continued to work just fine down to 12 F. As I recall, the sales literature for mine said that this unit was good down to 17 F, but obviously it'll do better than that.

I have noticed that the COP drops when the outside temp goes way down, but it's still superior to resistance heat.

I've noticed that according to the sales lit, the new 9RL and 12RL Fujitsus are good down to 5 F.

I installed 2 mini splits. 12k btu Shinco in my bedroom and 24k btu in my living room. I have hot water baseboard heating. I used my 6- 12v cpu fans mounted in the hallway to circulate the heat to the bedrooms. At night, I lower the living room to 60 and turn up my bedroom to 68 and left a crack of the door open.
