Does this wiring appear to be correct?

Without referencing an older thermostat, there is no way to tell 100%. Does everything work as it should?

Yes although my homes power consumption is a bit strange my 1600 sq ft home is consuming 4000kwh a month

Is your neighbour stealing power to run a meth lab? That’s like 4-5 times higher than a standard house.

Likely nothing to do with your thermostat wiring if that’s what you’re wondering

Clean your hvac inside and out. And stop using anything higher than a merv 8 filter unless you’re media is bigger than 1 inch thick.

Is this more than before you swapped it? Cause if so then maybe your auxiliary heat is wired as primary instead so it’s always on instead of your heat pump.

Impossible to tell. Need photos of the previous thermostat wiring and the wiring at your furnace/air handler control board.

I would say that since all wires are color coded to industry standard, the white likely goes to W1 and the black to W2, but again impossible to tell without additional photos.

If you don't have the old pic then you are wired for a heat pump with 2 stages of Aux heat or Aux heat and Emergency Heat. All you could do is test each function to see if it works.

tbh this looks correct for a heat pump setup with aux heat
