Do you have an outdoor compressor/heat exchanger? If not it may just be an electric furnace that heats with resistive elements.

This be will dependent on the temperature differential, the refrigerant and your specific equipment.
>At 8°C, the coefficient of performance (COP) of air-source heat pumps typically ranges from between 2.0 and 5.4. This means that, for units with a COP of 5, 5 kilowatt hours (kWh) of heat are transferred for every kWh of electricity supplied to the heat pump. As the outdoor air temperature drops, COPs are lower, as the heat pump must work across a greater temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor space. At –8°C, COPs can range from 1.1 to 3.7
