I personally don't think the savings of gas over electric in Florida are that great. As RedWitch mentioned you don't have the high heat demands that you have up North. In addition, I don't know what the electric rates are where you live but the electric rates where I came from in New York were higher than here in Florida. These two items made for a big difference between gas and electric in New York State.
There is always at least a small safety risk with gas. When I had gas, I had a small leak develop and was lucky to find it before something happened.
