Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (-13F) outside. (i.imgur.com)

That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that's already insanely expensive

Newer models are actually.
We had negative 30 C the last two days and our air-to-air kept the whole upper floor comfortable. 90 m².

Granted it's a brand new and very well insulated house, but -30 bites well on those too!

Most houses up here have other electric alternatives or a fireplace.
Gas and oil are beyond abnormal to have and I think oil is even illegal in Norway now...
Don't quote me on that though

    Wow, air to air even?

    But do you know what the COP is at -30?

    Here is a link to it

    I must make a small correction though: The last night with -30 it struggled a bit. Only managed to keep the upper floor at 19 °C so we had to turn on the cables to get over the peak.
    I'm still mightily impressed by it though!
    Max consumption was 32 kW/day, so roughly 4-5 € pr/day with our prices.
