No there is not IF the heat pump is variable speed/flow. Many modern ones are, but most old ones are not, and it is really hard to tell if a new one is. In fact you want one oversized as if it is the correct size for cooling it cannot make enough heat when it is cold (it can make heat, just not enough)

If you get a normal single speed heat pump see the other reply - there are significant downsides.
