    Brand new heat pump,warm winter and my electric bill has more than doubled
    Put in brand new heat pump last march. Did not have to turn on heat till mid dec. Its been a warm winter with average temp between 35 and 37 degrees but 2cnd month in a row me electric bill is over $400. I did not pay that even with the old heat pump and much lower temp outside. I thought heat pumps were cheep to run above freezing. A friend of mine has a 20yo heat pump 2x the sq footage and a hot tub on his roof and paid $136.00 last month. What should I check first 3ton carrier with puron R-410.a matching air handler, thermostat, back up heat.
