>Rates for my northeast town increased by ~25% in 2024 and are going up by another ~10% this year. Don't forget that those costs are going up in large part because heat pump subsidies are being rolled into electricity prices. Imagine being a ~$100k HHI household and paying $300+/mo for electricity so that $200+k HHI doctor/lawyer/HN households can have subsidized heat pumps and our sleazy contractors, and the dealers, and everyone else upstream) can over-charge us for the privilege (thereby getting their cut of the subsidy). It's a miracle we haven't all caught hot lead yet.
