I have a similar issue. I have four heat pumps and I keep all four at 68 degrees but my electric bill from Versant has a averaged about $350 the past two months. That's on top of oil for my furnace.

68 degrees! It must be nice to be so rich. Just joking btw. I’m keeping my house around 64. High efficiency forced hot air on propane. Seriously though what’s your kwh usage?

I tried to log into Versant to look at the usage but their site is going through maintenance

I just checked and in Feb I used 1,285

I keep mine at about 70, it’s my only heat source. This winter I’ve averaged $300/mo. My house is about 1400sq/fr. How big is your house?

My house is a little bigger than yours at 1640 sq ft

I have a 1600 square foot house built in 1910 on pier and skirt foundation with block and brick at points, insulation is key here. We keep the house at 64° in the winter time and things get a little chilly due to insulation inconsistencies in the old walls. If OP is throwing real numbers here, then insulation or potentially an open air gap is causing his loss of heat and increase in bill. The electric company also doubled the cost of electricity between 2019 and today.
