Reply to comment by Dangerous_Mention_15 in Some data on heat pump performance today by happyhourscience

Yes, I would like to have had the power consumption data for this post, but the BED consumption tracker does not always update in real time. I may have to wait until tomorrow for the data.

According to the usage tracker, last year on a similar day (Jan 21, High of 6, low of -14), I used about 90 kwh, but I charged my car and used a space heater. Assuming $0.16 per kwh that works out to about $15 for that day.

You should really get a pellet stove for supplemental heat… 90 kWh for a single day is horrific.

Charged a car and used a space heater. That could be 30-40kwh right there.

Using a space heater is also heat.

True. I was focussed on the HP usage. My bad.

For sure, and at those temperatures, probably not much different than the heat pumps!

We used to have a shitty little 1br apartment in Burlington, and our heat was about on par with that per month. Of course the upstairs neighbors were only paying 100/mo because they got all of our heat 😭 couldn't get out of that place quick enough between the heat fuckery and lack of driveway maintenance. I used to have to pull everyone out of the driveway in my outback, otherwise everyone would get stuck and gridlock the parking lot.
