Post your Kwh and Ng costs with all taxes etc included.



Yes, but the heat pump has a COP (coefficient of performance) that may
exceed 3, meaning the BTU of heat is a factor of 3 higher than the BTU
of electricity put in. Thus there could be monetary savings even though
electric costs more per BTU.
