The insulation thing is weird because better insulation saves you in the summer too. I guess it's just the construction fixed cost. Electric heat seems like a weird compromise though considering the gulf of Mexico..
- maxerickson 6y agoElectric heat is great if you don't use heat consistently. Relatively inexpensive up front, low maintenance, etc.
- sjg007 6y agoCentral air and a natural gas furnace are both on the same duct system and low maintenance.
- xxpor 6y agoElectric heat doesn't need any duct system though, which is nice. Also, no chimney to worry about. For places with low-co2 footprint electricity, it makes a lot of sense. Granted, down in TX central AC is a lot more important than worrying about heat for a once-every-30-years cold situation.
