So, lets add anothr question to this. Does it make sense to lower the temp at night in the home or leave it set at the same temp day and night? The thought is by lowering it 3 to 4 degrees at night while your asleep, it would run less, but then if the heatpump has to fire up the backup heat source which is likely electric itself and run at the same time to raise the temp up the 3 to 4 degrees, have you really saved anything.
