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.



You're paying $0.06 per kwh for the electricity, yes, but the
chances are, you're ALSO paying $0.08 per kwh for transmission
charges plus taxes.
