Will minisplits keep me warm when it’s really cold?

Yes they will. Today at my pretty good house in Maine, the temp is -8°F, with a brisk wind. Inside it’s 68°. I heat my 1650 square foot house with 9RLSH and 12RLSH Fujitsu minisplits.

Stephen,
Glad to hear that your ductless minisplit is keeping you warm on this chilly morning!
Here in northern Vermont, the temperature is -21°F, with about 18 inches of powdery snow on the ground. Indoor temperature is about 72°F, with heat provided by a wood stove.
Surprisingly mild atop Mt. Washington: -28°F, wind 70 mph.
Here in Peterborough ,Ontario it is 0 degrees F and 72 F in my 2000 sq. PGH..... 2 Fujitsu
15RLS H series ,one up and one down ... I use the mainfloor unit alone in the shoulder seasons and just last week turned on the upstairs unit ...
Vancouver Island is hovering a couple of degrees below freezing. Many neighbours with frozen pipes and uncomfortably cold house because... well you know, it's the west coast.
