What is your “backup”? It’s a companion heater in very cold weather. My heat pump installer said heat pumps are only efficient within a certain range. They need to pull heat. I have this electric heater: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J1M61M8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It’s efficient and puts heat into the room that the heat pump utilizes/maximizes. I also have a propane fireplace to heat my house when the power fails. What do you have?

Got it. I’m just playing it by ear and trying to find the sweet spot for my personal preference for comfort and how I supplement my heat pump. I’m also closing curtains and covering a very leaky door. My expectations were clearly lower than yours. Best wishes.
