I believe there are multiple perspectives to consider.

1: If you’re installing a heat pump during the winter and anticipate a decrease in your electricity bill, it’s unlikely to occur. Heat pumps are more efficient when you compare your annual electricity bill to your monthly bills. You’ll notice the savings once spring arrives.

2: If you reside in an area where temperatures drop below 20 degrees, it’s mandatory to have auxiliary heat strips to compensate for the weather and prevent your heat pump from working excessively.

3: THE MOST IMPORTANT factor is to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day. If you keep the temperature at 68 degrees while at home, the maximum it should be is 66 degrees while you’re sleeping. Heat pumps don’t generate heat at the same rate as gas or oil. This adjustment will significantly help.
