How does that work out $ wise?
Any corresponding increase in electricity?
I had someone telling me gas is cheaper for heating compared to peak rate electricity. I can't imagine it but didn't have the energy to 'do my research'.

That could be problematic.

We only heat/cool our living end. I prefer a cold bedroom, but we are in Temperate Adelaide. DC ceiling fans do a good job in summer in the bedrooms.
Canberra or Melbourne might be a different story in Winter.
Fully zoned ducted system with temp sensors a climate controller allows for full control per zone.
It's a vastly quieter and essentially automated.
No sleep interrupts with compressors kicking on and off or de-icing cycles.
Ours has four fan speeds and sits on medium most of the time which is pretty quiet. There is also a sleep mode. I never hear the inverter. Just the fan starting up as the room cools.
When we were in Ballarat, replacing gas with a split system cut our gas bill from ~$400 per month during the winter (it was a cold one!) and increased electricity up to from memory $100.

That chart is a keeper too.
Not that I would use 10kWh to heat our space. Our 3.5kW Reverse Cycle AC sits on about 1kW until the room gets to temp and then about 300Wh per hour.
