We have a 1999 Rheem "High Efficiency" heat pump with the electric backup (total electric house; no gas lines in this neighborhood) and while the heat pump usually keeps it warm enough, if you kick in that electric heater, you sure wouldn't want any warmer air; it gets really hot. I think the manual calls it a 13.65 SEER.
