I did the installs myself and had a neighbor who is retired HVAC come and pull the vacuum and turn up. I live in the Austin area and they work fine. When the temp get down to about freezing not as well but still OK. I use a woodstove to supplement when it stays sub-freezing for several days but that is not very often. Check with your local HVAC folks and see how well they work in your area. They are very efficient (I have the inverter type).
