Yes, TV used to build homes with gas and electric. Now, they only build all electric. So basically, it depends on when the house was built.

ahhh...the question would be WHEN (as in year built) rather than WHERE..... thanks, PT! (i.e.: I'm thinking Spanish Springs area would be gas/electric?)

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.

mgm, I don't think any of the areas around SS are gas. I know Sunset Pointe has some gas; ditto Mallory. Not sure what other villages. I think it was one of those things that home buyers asked for, so the developer had gas homes for awhile, discovered people didn't like gaslines in their attic and discontinued building them.

there is a large area south of 466 that has gas, I heard they stopped using gas because the utility company could not supply their needs....gn

Believe that's where houses have issues with lightning.
