Well it is resistance type electric heat and it will be as expensive,
but not more than any other type of electric resistance heat. In some areas
it may be less than fossil fuels, but more expensive most areas.

Not true at all. It is a great way to heat, but it can be expensive.

buy a new heating system.

Other than heat pumps, all electric heat will cost the same to use.
