I am building a new home in SE Virginia. I am wondering if I should
consider gas heat. What are the pros & cons.

Thanks.

Over the years the cost of energy has changed so gas may no longer have the
advantage in cost, but it is still less maintenance, cleaner burning, always
available. Gas cooking, IMO, is superior also for the faster heat control.
A gas range will still work if the power goes out because you can light the
burners with a match.
