While I doubt they have bothered to equal Mitsubishi's performance, they may be adeqaute for you needs or not, but without details we can't tell you. How cold is cold, what specific model you have, how cold that specific model operates, and your cost per kWh and gallon of oil would be a minimum starting point. | |

You should also install a proper modern thermostat, even if it is "dumb". You need accuracy, at least. I'm not sure asking the internet is the right move here. Experiment and find what works best. | |
