I never knew about the limitation but the hvac guy was right. Once it went over 0. The heat kicked back on. We rarely get below zero here and that’s why they don’t installed the secondary heat source.
We have a very mild climate historically. The last few years the summer have been really hot but the winters aren’t to bad.
They don’t plow or salt the roads in the winter. When it snows and ices, the town just shuts down. It’s really weird to me having lived elsewhere.
If it’s that specific that it happens at an exact temperature, it sounds like an intentional “fuck you” switch on that model disabling it and not an actual physical limitation.

Ac summer. Heating winter.

You can Google it. It’s a pretty well documented and know limitation of the system
I googled the shit out of it because I didn’t know my system was a heat pump and it sounded like bullshit.
Didn’t have heat for four days.

This guy does a great job explaining how they work and the temperature issue you have
Can’t believe it took this long for someone to pull out the @TechConnectify@mas.to link.
That’s the lock out temp, you probably have a cheaper/builder-grade heat pump.
