Resistance heat truly provides heat ONLY when and
where it is needed.

Ive always felt this way also.

It would seem to me that sense resistive electric heating can be so
easily controlled and "zoned"...... that maybe THAT could make up for
the inefficiencies in the cost of it. Yes?

In other words..... given that electric heat costs more.... can one
finesses it more by zone heating and other controls and save overall
over gas?

Talking ONLY resistive elect heat here.... not geothermal.
