Got this here http://www.travisproducts.com/CostOfHeating_WkSht.asp#

This is in Central Oregon where electricity is cheap (for now) and dino fuel
is expensive. Diesel is past $4.00 and propane isn't far behind.
Nice thing about electricity is the lack of required venting.

$0.10764 per KWH here. $31.54 MBTU
last contract for propane was $2.00 a gallon. $26.64 MBTU

I think I'll hold off on deciding what form of heat I'm using until July
when the next propane contract is set.

Thanks for the info, electric heat used to be very expensive relative to gas
in my area. Times have changed.

As long as your State of Michigan tax dollars are paying for
it you should take a peek at it now and then.
