Bret, What many people have missed is I have a FIXED, NOT AVERAGED, ELECTRIC BILL, $142.99 for 12 months. In the summer I may only use 600 kw-hrs, cost is the same $142.99. The cost per KW-hr is close to $.16. In the summer I'm lucky to go over 1000 kw-hr during the warmest month running the AC.
Some don't understand that my electric rates are cheaper than gas because the more electricity I use the cheaper it gets per Kw-Hr. That is crazy. What is even more crazy is even if I got the best gas furnace, I would then pay more for electricity and gas combined.
14 years ago, it cost me less than $1000 for wire, thermostats, circuit breakers and baseboard heaters to make my house total electric. Already had electric range, dryer. I did have to buy a electric water heater.
I use the gas furnace blower for the central air. The old gas water heater is next to it. The gas company still has the meter connected, but locked up. I will never go back to gas. Electric baseboard heat is simple, absolutely no repairs unlike all other heating sources that have a short life expendency, like heat pumps. I have a property that was built in the 60 that is total electric. Only replaced 1 $15 thermostat in 55 years.
It took me 5 years to build a new house around an old house, doubling the size. Back then there was a property tax advantage to doing that.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
