Households in Oklahoma use 21% more electricity than the national average and pay 5% less than average. Cheap power absorbs most of that: the meter turns faster here, but at 13.38¢ each unit costs less than it does nationally. Cooling explains most of it: Oklahoma runs about 2,000 cooling degree days a year against 3,500 heating ones, so summer, not winter, sets the bill.

What this means for heating
Oklahoma sees around 75 freezing nights a year. Whether a heat pump beats a furnace here depends on the gap between those two prices above — not on the equipment.
