Interesting. A close friend is an engineer who designs HVAC systems (industrial but regardless knowledgeable).
He's told me that the heat pump would pull more power on those days than an equivalent electric only system.
My heat pump definitely uses a lot of power when it's cold.
I wish I had access to the gas based supplemental heating for it. Economically that seems like the best option.
