You are right, I was thinking of the electric resistance heating. Thanks for the clarification.

We lived in an apartment that had the electric baseboard heat. For our tiny apartment, we regularly got $250+ electric bills in the winter. There was a lot wrong in that apartment though, including single pane windows.

It’s been a long time since I had to worry about a heat pump. However, if I remember, heat pumps can only heat at certain temperatures. Once it gets below like 20 ( honestly can’t remember the cut off temp ), the emergency heat kicks in. That’s when your electric bill will go up considerably. Again, my knowledge is probably limited and out dated.
