Mini Split with HyperHeat

Hello, I have steam heat and when we get those really cold days below say 15F my boiler runs nonstop and has trouble trying to get past 60F . (past 55 in the zero days). I was toying with having a mini split to help on the coldest of days but one AC pro told me that to be honest it won't help on those days? Is this true? I know they say they can heat up to like 30 below but he installs them all the time and says no? Thoughts?

Heat pumps work by taking the heat from outside the building and moving it into the building. As it gets colder outside, heat pump performance drops off. I think your money would be better spent on finding out why your existing boiler can't keep up. A boiler that is too small is quite uncommon. Is it completely silent when it's operating?
Post a few pics if you can.

I just skimmed through some of your older posts. Have you addressed any of the past issues at all? I saw mention of only have one venrite #35 main vent. I seriously doubt if that is adequate. There is certainly something going on here that isn't correct.1
