I've researched this a lot since I want to install one and live in a cold climate. The new ones can put out a lot of heat at low temperatures.
As an example, see the linked "AHRI Certificate" for the product below. It states:
- 11,800 BTU/h at 47 degrees fahrenheit
- 7,800 BTU/h at 17 degrees fahrenheit
I feel like I've even seen some that say they put out 100% of the rated heat at like 5 degrees fahrenheit.
You have to make sure you get a cold weather one, with a base pan heater. They're usually more expensive.
Here's one I've looked at for reference. It costs $300 more than the less extreme temperatures one. I don't think it comes with a base pan heater, but I'm not sure: https://senville.com/12000-btu-mini-split-air-conditioner-sena-12hf/ https://senville.com/12000-btu-mini-split-air-conditioner-se...
