How is the Acadia 36C35H System type heat pump from Hallowell?

A client of mine was asking about The Acadia 36C35H new heat pump system from Hallowell and I honestly had not had any experience with it for cold climates. Any of you guys installed and had any feedback as to the efficiency and fuel consumption electric wise of this system?

    physics 101

    The Hallowell, love their URL: gotohallowell.com, HP utilizes a second compressor to achieve their very impressive - down to 0F - performance. It's simple physics - move more freon - move more heat-energy. The second one kicks in at 30F, which is why their HP has more heat output below 30F than above 30F & does so without resistance heat.

    Inverter-driven heat pumps do the same thing - physics wise - by ramping up the speed of the single compressor. Move more freon - move more heat-energy.

    The Hallowell unit is, or looks like, a great HP for areas with sub-par temps for standard air-based HP units. It's only draw-back appears to be the added consumption of power to run both compressors without any modulation to moderate compressor use of power.
