I live in Ontario where we go down to -30C in the harshest conditions.
We have a heat pump and a furnace and they alternate based on efficiency
Somewhere around -5 to +5 C it switches from the heat pump to the furnace
I think you could get by a bit colder but it really loses out on efficiency vs burning gas unless you invest in a geothermal heat pump
