My unit is newer and I just had it serviced, and my electric heat coil came on. Heat pumps, at least the ones the builder installs, struggle once temps go below about 40 degrees. And if you set back your thermostat at night (like I do) and it is having to raise the temp vs just maintain, it will have to work even harder.
