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¢.

Ed, here in North Dakota we pay 6 cents per kWh. Now add city tax and a
couple of other B.S. charges and my electric comes to a whopping 8 cents! In
fact I have my last bill in my hand right now.$82.22 or 998 kWh, which
equals $0.082. Listed price per kWh is $0.062. Winter that rates drops by
about 8/10ths of a cent, so we get a better deal in the winter months.
