You are still not understanding. The peak load of a heat pump is about the same for heating and cooling.
But how often is it 50+ degrees hotter than room temperature outside...?
Exactly.
It's going to draw the same amount of power as when its air conditioning in the summer, but on a very cold night its probably going to run just about all night barely stopping. Using way more kwh compared to summer time air conditioning.
