Yes, mini splits do use more electric as the temp goes down. But I'm gonna go way out a limb and bet that nobody ever says mini splits cost more to run than oil. Oil and burners also use more fuel as the temp goes down. Like a number of other forum members, I heat all year with mini splits, and my electric bill is WAY less than my oil bill ever was...and that's before Russia...

Mini splits, solar power, LED bulbs, foam insulation, etc--kind of like ATMs for the home
