Heat pumps are electric . no gas used. Keeping your hot tub or pool water warm? LOTS of gas. Tankless water heater uses gas vs the electric full tank heaters. These co-ops charge a much higher cost per therm than the major utilities.. Obviously check your therm usage, cost per therm, and rebates.
As an aside, my newer home has a steady state temperature of around 66-68 degrees in the cold months.. By noon the house is over 70. Bedrooms are cooler, making for pleasant sleeping. There;s been no need to use the heat.
Now, once the hot season starts, the electric bill will be a different story.
