Most efficient way currently.  I've been using one for several years
now, mostly for AC.  In Winter months, I use it if temps are above 32F
(0C)

"The Department of Energy says that heat pumps use up to 65 percent
less electricity than old fashioned furnaces or baseboard heaters. "

Footnote - The above is true if not living in a cold environment, like
below 32F (0C).
