Not that we shouldn't be moving away from gas, but that heat might not be a waste in the wintertime, since it is also displacing heat you needed to keep your house warm. Of course it is best if to use a heat pump to keep your house warm, because you can then get efficiencies of greater than 100%.
- Kirby64 4y agoMost of that heat is likely to be vented outside if you're using proper range hood ventilation. Also, it's a negative during the summer time when it's heating up the house. I know plenty of folks that dread using the oven or stovetop during the summer since your house gets so much hotter. Overall, it seems like it's a net neutral in terms of heating unless you're in a climate that skews heavily one way or the other.
