If your unit is the "Hyper Heat" model, which is what you want and need in NH, your unit at -2 degrees, you will get around 87% of the unit's output efficiency, this is better than most oil burners...and at -13 degrees, you will get around 76% of the unit's output...That's pretty dam good!
I have a 40' x 36' well insulated space that I heat all winter with one inside / outside unit. During the coldest of days I have never had issues heating to 72 degrees or warmer if I wanted. On a couple of back to back -10 degree days the unit heated flawlessly! The air conditioning (cooling) during the summer is beyond belief how well it cools!!
Now if you didn't purchase a hyper heat model....your in trouble!!
Good luck!!

I have Hyper heat and this is in my home in Ma.
Yesterday was the coldest day so far 37 during the day and 24 last night. I had to turn the two heads on my main level up real high to get a comfortable temperature of 67 degrees throughout the house, is that normal?
I have an 18K head at one end of the main floor and a 12K at the other with my thermostat right in the middle, The 18K unit I turned up to 76 and the 12K unit I turned up to 72. This main level is 1400 sq ft.
I'm thinking I should have put another head in the middle of the house but that would have required a bigger unit with 6 head capacity.
I installed a 48K unit with 5 heads for a 2000 sq ft home. The house is a 26x52 Cape, two bedrooms on the top floor have 6K heads each and one 6K head in the basement. It's not super insulated but it is well insulated as I had an energy assessment performed.
I have my oil heat set a 60 so it's hasn't got that low in the house.
