I mean...an extra 50 watts maybe? Not great but doesn’t seem like a huge deal.

  How hot does a 50-watt incandescent lightbulb get? That's what an extra 50 watts of wasted power will feel like.

    My house is cold, the extra heat is welcome here. I only have electric heat.

      Unless you live in the tropics, electric heat is borderline unconscionable with regards to climate change.

        I use solar power. Also, in nearby San Jose, California, they have banned NG in all new construction except commercial or multi family residences taller than 3 stories.

        what's the conscionable alternative?

          Wear a sweater.

        Why is that? Your electricity might be from renewable resources. Or a non-renewable that is more efficient in total than using gas directly.

          My choices are grid, solar, propane. I only use propane as emergency power backup.
