That 22F figure is the Denton County cold-day number a Little Elm heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 22F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.
Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Little Elm home has 6.3 rooms and was built around 2011, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
