Even in this SE Pa cold my heat pump is more efficient

[DBCOOPER]

Last 24 hours used 70 KWH. Base line on the house is about $3.00. Add a bag and a half of pellets I'm at 10.50
At .139 per KWH that's $9.73 and no getting the pellets and no cleaning the stove, it seems like its not worth the effort...

I'd like to know what heat pump you have. When it gets down to the single digits outside mine can't extract enough heat from the air and ends up turning on the heat strips.

below 25 degrees my heat pump is worthless without the heat strips kicking in.

I live in Missouri now and installed a Mini Split.
Daiken brand It heats down to 5 above F. We switch over to a low efficiency gas furnace for the 2 weeks of really cold weather we get here. About a dollar a day for heat with the heat pump.
We have a Quadrafire for the ambiance however it's far cheaper to heat with the heatpump.

That's cool to hear I just had a Samsung hp installed it's suppose to heat down to around the same temp as yours I hope it does well this winter it was a pretty pricy machine.
