I’ve got a mid-range Amana heat pump and even that has a COP of 2.1 (2 watts of heating per watt used) down to 0F.
Heat pumps require different system design than a traditional setup, where the cooling load is usually the driving force. You might need a bigger heat pump to handle the heating load in very cold weather accounting for the efficiency loss.
