I presume you’re talking about air source heat pumps here. Some will go down that far, but it’s not common. If installed in a location where winters will routinely see temperatures below -10/15 degrees C, it’s going to be far more efficient to do a ground source heat pump, ideally with a deep bore hole where you can get a heat source that is continually 10-20 degrees C
