Unless you live in Florida or California, I hope your electric heat is from a heat pump, not a resistor. Converting electricity directly to heat is expensive.

There are, or used to be, exceptions in the NW, where electricity was really cheap. Just about all homes in FL, and I would assume in CA, are heat pumps, possibly with backup resister strips.

When I lived in CO a couple decades ago, a LOT of condos were baseboard resistance heat.
