And electrical heaters would heat less, so they would run longer,
increasing total usage.

Proportionately longer time at lower voltage is still same power...


Except for the losses where the problem is. Which don't heat the
house if they're outside. Sorry.

But that loss is independent of downstream load...


???
Loss at a series connection resistance ("problem") depends on the
downstream load.

That's true--I knew this was going to come back when I sent it--just
_after_ "Send".

If that really was the claim rather than a resistance heater was going
to use more power at the lower voltage simply by running longer at the
lower input to output the same heating...
