Comparing cost of oil and electricity for heat

For those interested my mini spilts are still pushing heat at -6 degrees. Room was a bit cooler this morning so I assume they lost some efficiency last night.

Mr. W. Z,
Any consumer-grade heat-pump that can still function in these single digit temps is an impressive machine! ☃️

Which model?

My HomeDepot model was running fine down to 20F.
But it would go into defrost mode about once an hour for 10 min (no heat).
Considering the place has no insulation under the floors and lots of drafts it did fairly well.

Gonna be a cold week.
