I see comments saying that heating with electricity is more efficient than with gas. So, will it cost less?

- CoastalCoder 5y agoI assume they mean in terms of transmission losses and / or final conversion to applied heat. Those are somewhat independent of the financial cost to end users (given the particular details of current markets and infrastructure).
- Danieru 5y agoYes. My house is what the Japanese all "all electric". We have heat pumps for heat, induction for cooling, and a heat pump powered water heater. We save a good chunk of cash compared to our neighbors. The downside is an increased initial investment. So property developers prefer throwing in gas or propane, they get more profit and can advertise a lower price. At the expense of the owners long term.
- Gigachad 5y agoAre we including the cost of a future carbon tax?
