Reply to comment by TheMrGUnit in Alternatives to oil heat? by infinite_zero

And at below freezing low temps they could be more costly than oil. Our electric prices are around 30 cents in New England. My big 48k btu heat pump with 5 heads used between 1,500 to 2,000 kWh in December.

Cold-weather heat pumps retain their efficiency advantage until single digits. Mine will keep the house warm until about -4.

Also, CMP is offering programs to heat pump owners and high consumers to reduce costs. Anyone considering a heat pump should check these out to see if you can save some money.
