Default Electric vs. Gas, your opinion ?????


"Joey" wrote in message

Due to the high costs of gas this winter I am considering changing to all
electric on my stove and mainly heating unit.

Do you think this is a good idea ????

Probably not.

The cost of the change over, especially for a stove, may be far more than
the potential savings. Gas went up, but electric has to in most areas. We
have 20% increase. Your stove probably uses $100 of gas in a year and a
replacement will be $500 to $100 including wiring. You may save $20 a year.
Rather poor payback.
