I will update when I get my next electric bill. That will represent a full month of heating solely with the heat pump.

I'm not sure why you would be skeptical especially with all the positive reviews this site has given in the past on mini splits.
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!!
