For instance:At 0°F, a 36,000 BTU heat pump might still deliver close to its full capacity, around 37,000 BTUs.At -4°F, the capacity might decrease slightly to about 35,800 BTUs.At -13°F, the capacity could further drop to around 32,000 BTUs.At -22°F, you might only get about 28,000 BTUs.This reduction in capacity occurs because, as the outdoor temperature decreases, the heat pump has to work harder to extract heat from the air, which becomes more challenging as it gets colder.
