Interestingly it actually worked pretty good there until around 30 degrees F. Again, thanks to all who answered. Gives me something to contemplate for next year or 2025 when I will replace old traditional combo system.

Our house here was built in 1998. I was so happy to see we have a Trane heat pump with the good ole climatuff compressor. Other than regular coil cleaning, filter changing I've only had to replace the run capacitor twice and compressor contactor once. She's in a good shaded area and here it is 2023. Knock on wood she keeps going!
