Central Mass. Primary heat source is oil furnace. A couple years ago we installed a mitsubishi ductless heat pump and ac.

1 heat pump /1 register for the whole first floor. 1 heat pump/3 registers for each bedroom upstairs.

Electric heat is expensive! We do not run them all the time. We keep the heat (oil) around 60. We'll turn on a heat pump in one room just to take the chill off for 15 min or so as needed.

Side note. Our neighbors built an apartment above the garage for the mil. Mitsubishi heat pump / ac. It's the only source of heat. $900 monthly electric bill!

I believe it. I also central ma. Had a 1500sqft colonial. Oil baseboard heat. Put in 2 mini split systems one up stairs and one down stairs. The heat was very expensive to run and I ended up just burning oil instead, much cheaper!
