Re: electric heat problems?
Its been awhile since I had Mitsubishi training but I believe they retain 90% of rated capacity at -13. Ill see if I can find the data.

Re: electric heat problems?
I'm interested in this for a number of reasons but basically we're looking at a place that has two GREAT back-up fireplaces (one on gas, the other wood), but they have baseboards with oil heat - supposed to hold the heat longer.
Sadly, they have no AC, or ductwork, so I was thinking about the Mitsubishi - for AC no less!
The electric bill wouldn't be an issue if we could just put up a 5 or 10 KWH system in the lower field, but I'll bring this up in a separate thread.
Many thanks to all of you for sharing your personal skills and opinions with respect to the OP's query....

Re: electric heat problems?
Two years ago i had an electric bill in January that was $700 and February was $800. My house is about 1k square feet. I put in a pellet stove insert in my fireplace. I haven't had a bill over $150 since. Most are under $100. Pellets cost me about $100-$150/month when it's really cold. Electric heat is ridiculous.

Re: electric heat problems?
Same here, Our 'Flip' has a heat pump and our first winter's bills kept going higher and higher. this is our 4th winter with the Harmon pellet stove. Last Spring I spent $900.00 for 3 tons of pellets and we only use the heat pump for A/c and those could days before we light 'Bertha' and our budged plan is under $130.00 and I bet I could get it lower if I un-plugged the un-used electrical devices.
