You can always dig 'em up in the fall, store in cool dark dry place 'till the ground warms up in the spring.
If you get your hands on a dwarf species, like Dwarf Orinoco or Dwarf Cavendish, they can easily be over-wintered in the ground if planted next to a south-facing wall of a building & "tented in" with plastic pipe & sheeting. (there are several posts here about building a simple lean-to or greenhouse shelter)
A small fan stealing warm air from under (or inside of) a heated building should be able to keep them safe from frost without having to resort to an actual heater.
