Air to Air heat pumps in winter

Edgar from Ngaruawahia

As temperatures fall, air-to-air heat pumps require defrosting and then are not providing heat. This makes them less effective in areas with cold winters particularly with high humidity.
And most heat pumps use electric resistance heaters as a backup for cold weather.
