Electric Heat Pros & Cons
Thanks folks for all the great inforrmation, much apreciated !
All things considered I think I'll steer away from condos heated by electricty.
I also remember a previous home heated with electricty, and we always seemed to be cold, as the heat only seemed to be warm near the actual
heat registers. Lot's of complaints from the family....
Even though oil is currently high I think it's still one of the best sources for home heating. The heat distribution throughout the house seems to be better circulated. Also, as soon as the 'Commodity Brokers' stop driving up the price of oil, I think you'l see it drop dramtically !
We may not see $2.00 a gal oil again, but I think it may go back to under $3.00. Just my opinion....
I can't compare to gas heat in cost however, but I still like the ability to purchase from a competitive market. With natural gas or LP, you don't have that luxury, and may only have a few sources to purchase.
That being said, I'll go with the open competitive market.
Thanks again for everyone's feedback !
