Overall energy efficiency has improved by about 35% in my napkin math, but I find whenever I improve efficiency, my electricity usage increases. This applies to both electric sources of energy and non-electric sources of energy as something new always seems to follow the efficiency gain. The reduction in overall energy usage is a side effect of efficiency difference of the heat pump (although on a dollar basis, costs remain about the same) being huge and is an abnormally.
