  You get a lower rate (higher baseline) if you install a heat pump ($0.28-0.30; 4x to 4.2x), and the coefficient of power for the heat pump should be well over 4 in California.

    > You seem to be on the cheaper residential schedule. I'm in San Francisco, so PG&E bills me separately for distribution (provided by PG&E) and generation (provided by CleanPowerSF). We are on a rate plan that has slightly cheaper electricity off peak, and save something like $20/year as a result. The individual line items on the bill are hard to understand (lots of surcharges and credits), but I can tell you from the totals that my most recent bill shows $0.33 per kWh for electricity (average, including both delivery and generation) and $2.56 per therm for gas.
