I did the mini split for the past 30 days and just got a bill of $800. Granted, this is because constellation completely messed up and we ended up on the National grid rate, but still ended up using 1700 kWh of electric (so even at a sensible rate the electric would be over $400).
Oil is coming down in price and is at under $4 a gallon now, so I’m thinking it will be cheaper to go that route.
I’m in MA as well if that matters!

1700 kwh is a ton. Are you running electric strips on the heat pump? You should probably turn those off and run gas/oil if you have the option.

5 different mini splits and running 24/7. Small child in the house so it is at 68 degs constantly. I have switched over to oil now though! I was ‘testing’ to see just how much power they would use. Turns out it’s a lot!

What do you mean 5 mini-splits? Are there 5 registers (head units) to 1 compressor?

5 head units 3 compressors.

Wow 3 compressors is a lot!
