A reverse cycle A/C must mean a heat pump. Every heat pump has a C.O.P. or coefficient of performance. They are rated at 17 and 47 degrees outside. A new heat pump should be around 3.3 at 47 degrees and 2.1 at 17 degrees. This means even at 17 degrees outside, it will produce 2.1 btu per kilowatt to 1 btu per kilowatt of an electric strip heater. And 3.3 to 1 at 47 degrees. Depending on where you live though, the electric heater may be needed to supplement the capacity of the heat pump.
