Older heat pumps lose capacity in very cold weather and rely on electric backup heat. Cold-climate models hold up better.
Air handlers in small closets are often hard to service. Clear access makes filter changes and repairs easier.
Check with the association before replacing rooftop equipment: crane access, roof rules and hours for work are usually set by the building.
If your heat pump is the original unit, ask whether a cold-climate model would reduce reliance on electric backup heat.
