Will have to disagree here. Heat pump has a high coefficient of performance so basically, less electricity is needed to generate the same amount of heat compared to a board heater.
The only thing is that the coefficient of performance tends to drop with temperature, but at worst, it will just match resistive heating.
Some systems could also implement it into the existing A/C system since heat pumps are pretty much just A/C in reverse. You just need to flip the evaporator and condenser around, along with controlling some valves.
