Don't know about all heat pumps, but ours has a automatic defrost cycle that
thaws the ice on that coil whenever necessary. We're in Arizona, but some
nights get down into the 20's quite often with the heat pump doing its job.

Probably they will have well over R19 insulation in the ceiling (required by
FHA ), but with a design temperature of near 0 that's C O L D. I live in TX
and a portable heater would be skimpy.
