Had gas for many years in Illinois. However a heat pump (electric) just isn’t that efficient up north. Being all electric makes sense in Florida where you run your AC most of the time and heat your home very rarely. Electric range is fine unless maybe you are operating a restaurant. Gas grills are readily available for grilling outside. I don’t see any problem being all electric.

I’ve cooked on both, for the last 14 years it was electric. What I don’t like is how hard it is to clean the top of the electric stoves.

Our place is south of the turnpike. As far as I can tell, most (or all?) homes south of 44 are hooked up for gas stove and dryer.
I'm happy with that especially because it saves time every day, but really the cost to operate is going to be not much less compared to homes setup with electric only. Gas is more efficient, but the cost savings due to low electricity prices in Florida make it almost a toss up. |

Since they run the gas in the attic through CSST gas lines, you might want to consider adding a lightening mitigation system. Several homes (1-2 per year) south of 44 have experienced minor to major fire damage from lightening striking the gas line. There is an iron pipe in the garage wall from the meter to the attic that appears to risk acting as a lightening rod. The process to restore a homes struck and burned takes over two years.
