I have a 1600 sq ft courtyard villa - all electric. Also have a 1927 sq ft designer- which is gas/electric. The villa costs about 20-30% more in electric than the designer's gas and electric. BUT - we did a lot of upgraded insulation in the designer to make it more energy efficient. (We even insulated the lanai and garage and I really notice a difference in the two garages this time of year.)
Bottom line - I think the villa is okay as far as efficiency but I am thinking of adding some insulation upgrades.
