Yeah, the inefficiencies of taking fuel, converting it to electricity and bringing it to your house show up in the costs.

You would have to have a very inefficient NG Water heating unit to make up more than twice the price difference.

I had a similar unit in Alaska. Much better efficiency than a forced air, IIRC.

Yeah, my system is going to be turning 25 years, it's getting toward retirement time. I currently looking at either ultra efficient or combined heat and power with indirect domestic HW.
