I'll chime in here since I own 2 heat pumps and live in a cold climate (often below 20C). Our house is heated with 100% electricity and after installing heat pumps our power bill dropped by about 18%. That includes all electricity, not just heating, so the gain in heating efficiency was very considerable.
That was obviously a typo, you concern-trolling asshat. Your FUD tactics are the flavour du jour with the fossil fuel lobby and are easily demonstrated to be nonsense by real-world examples.
