Half of Texas homes are electric heat and 75% of those are resistance heat....literally the most inefficient, electricity sucking way to produce heat, so ya, there probably was a run on power during those days, lol.
Resistance heat is actually 100% efficient.
It is true that moving heat using a heat pump uses less energy per BTU.
If all of TX converted it would be a huge reduction in electric demand. But electric is cheap and minimal efficiency regulation.
Winter mode, like traction control? Winter is different than summer somehow if the electric demand is the same?
