Re: Efficiency of Gas vs. Electric in the Villages area

I'm not sure about the exact efficiency numbers but a few years back I converted our whole house to gas in central NY. At the time there was no question about what was cheaper. The gas was by far cheaper. However that gap has narrowed some but still true. There were other advantages I looked at which included installing a gas fireplace that could operate with or without electric as a back up heat source. Also now you can install back up generators that will operate off natural gas. We had furnace, dryer, stove & hotwater all converted and never once missed the high electric bills.
