I would have a cheap auxiliary heater or pellet stove as backup for that one day and save tons of money the rest of the winter. in my opinion they are the best and most efficient choice of heating for a New England winter and they are not bad with AC in the hot summer!
Edited to add: I don't know why but you do lose some cooling efficiency with the hyper heat units over a standard unit. The standard units have unbelievable cooling efficiency.

Two years ago. Bear in mind I have access to natural gas and I need hot water, The split can not do hot water. The dealer says you can't beat natural gas when the cost of electricity in NH is so high!
I heard that there are hot water tanks available that will heat your hot water using the same principle. I know of a home owner that ordered one on the internet but could not find someone to install it. He may need to hire a guy from Maine.
Is the Mitsi split greener than a condensing boiler? I don't think so. NH electricity is produced mostly from natural gas. Because of loss of transporting the electricity, total efficiency is low.
