> units
Since it’s about heating, one should think BTUs.
But it doesn’t matter what the units are as long as they are energy units and the same are used on both sides.
The costs around here are like this (or were, last winter). The prices that are REALLY up are for natural gas. It’s a shame.
100,000 BTU per natural gas therm.
Now about 90 cents / therm all in
$1 per 100,000 BTU natural gas
3420 BTU per kilowatt hour
about 10 cents / kw hour
about $2.90 per 100,000 BTUs electric
“Since it’s about heating, one should think BTUs.”
BTU’s of heat ADDED!
For each BTU of gas used, less than one BTU of heat is added to the house.
For each BTU of electricity used, SEVERAL BTU’s of heat are added to the house.
