[QUOTE="Technician, post: 266390, member: 15198"] The USEFUL killowatt hours are greater with electric than gas. However the unit cost of electric is higher than gas. There are tables that give you the useful killowatt hours and I suggest that you contact Warmfront and they might be able to help you. I used to have all this at my finger tips but....that was a long while ago. Another problem is that, obviously, the rising main temperature is about 5 deg Cel in winter and rises to 15/16 in summer. Pre-heat with solar may be an option. [/QUOTE]
