My Rheem heatpump was installed without heatstrips. My question is will using the heatpump without heatstrips hurt the unit? I understand that below freezing the unit won't stay as warm but I am going to compensate with space heaters, I just don't want the unit to be damaged by not having heatstrips if they are necessary.
Is this a good question?

No. The unit will not be damaged by this. Just don't run the unit below I'd say 36°F. The heat strips are for when it's too cold for the heat pump to provide adequate heat.
