I've had houses with both Gas and all elect. with heat pump. The heat pump was cheaper (as Long as you didn't flip it to emergency heat) even with all the other elect's. figured in. But, the heat pump didn't have the instant heat out the vents like gas. IMO hard to get use to heat pump you feel cold all the time. My gas bill in winter mid US was more than my elect./heat pump bill total. With gas I still had to paid elect bill combined the two and it was 2/3rd as higher than just heat pump all elect house. Unless the Gov. started taxing coal fired plants elect bill will probably bet gas for awhile. Course gas goes up in the winter when everybody is using it. and cheaper in summer when no demand on it. I like gas range to cook on, don't really like gas water heater or gas dryer IMO elect. does just fine. Course with gas being piped in there's change of gas leak or explosion.
