On a flat-rate standard tariff, savings depend heavily on insulation and how efficiently the heat pump is run. Time-of-Use tariffs such as Cosy Octopus, or dynamic tariffs such as Octopus Agile, are usually cheaper for heat pump households because they let you draw most of your electricity during off-peak periods.
