Question for mini split users

So, I got my first full month electric bill heating with the mini splits. I was not expecting such an increase, my bill went from $150 to $365, from Nov 10th to Dec 12th. So, it basically cost me $215 to heat my house for that time. That didn't even reflect the large rate increase we will be getting on the next bill.
It's cheaper than heating with oil but not quite the savings I was expecting. December is usually one of the biggest electrical usage months with holiday lights, shortest daylight, and a rate increase so I'm expecting the next bill to be much bigger.
