The heat pump will run on 1/2 the electricity that an electric resistance heater uses. Electric resistance heating you get one dollar of heat for every dollar you spend for electricity. Your fireplace is even worse since you have a fan to move the air. Your Dyson is electric resistance heating to. So you get dollar for dollar. Your heat pump doesn’t heat the air. It moves heat from the outside to the inside. All air no matter how cold has heat in it. So all you do is move it in side. So the heat pump is much more efficient.

As an example. I heat my house with a new modern heat pump on 30 amps. It will heat my home down to -15 degrees. It is cheaper to run than to use natural gas even with the most efficient gas furnace.
