energy usage

[3v1lsh33pz]

so far, since getting my new heat pump installed, i've seen approx. 20% reduction in my electricity usage. but it's also been pretty mild weather, so i don't know if it's really related. the big questions will be, how much difference is there in dec-feb, which are traditionally, my highest electricity usage months

What caused the doubling of energy usage? The old unit just getting more inefficient, colder winters,...?

i don't remember it being especially colder than normal last winter, so i'm assuming it was the old heat pump just getting more inefficient. it *was* on "auxiliary heat" an awful lot...
