I live in TX and have gas heating my air, water, and food. Gas is CHEAP compared to electricity, my bills are like 1/3 in the winter. A big bonus is that the water heater and stove heat like 3x as fast than electric, saving me time. No more cold showers after my wife uses all the hot water.
And that’s compared to my electricity that’s much cheaper than in most states. My all time high electric bill was ~$220 for a 2500sqft house and that’s when it was 110+ outside for most of the month and I was WFH and keeping the downstairs around 70. I wanted to get solar panels, but couldn’t justify it because I would barely break even before they failed or I needed a new roof.
I do eventually want to switch to electric because I don’t like explosive gasses and their byproducts in my house, but in economic terms electric is a fail.
