The incompetence in those threads is high. One general idea is to use off-peak electricity to mostly warm up your house. The overnight cost of electricity is a third, so heat the main living areas well above the normal living temperature, and only run the heat pump during the day to stop it falling too much- using the house as a thermal battery. They're doing more like the opposite, heating the house to a lower temperature overnight and then trying to warm it up higher during the day on the expensive electricity! Madness!
