Cold winter mornings can significantly reduce COP, leading to running costs 15-25% above manufacturer estimates during the coldest months. If you're in this climate zone, consider CO2 refrigerant models (Sanden or Reclaim) for better cold-weather performance, or size up your tank capacity significantly.
