Anyone considering a conversion to electric heat now that gas is so
expensive. According to my utility, electric heat is now cheaper than
gas
when using a 65% AFUE furnace. Our gas is $1.3/therm vs 6 cents/kwh for
electric.
Where do you live to get electric that cheap? In New England we are about
14¢ to 16¢.
My town own its own municipal power plant. We pay about $.11/kwh. The good
news is that if we pay the bill within a fixed time frame (10 days or so) we
get a 20% discount off the billed amount.
