Do a lot of folks in TX heat with electricity?
I would have guessed it was largely nat gas.

I'm sure in the colder parts that's true, but still needs electricity to push the air. But further south it would not make sense to have gas with a short heating season.

Doesn’t matter. Without electricity you can’t run the fan so the heat will not come on.

I wish we had natural gas lines in our area. A lot of people have propane tanks in their yards. We have natural gas at work, and the buildings have electric water and office heaters.

Why? Because the GOV contracts call for electric heaters since some areas of the country DO NOT have natural gas.

In many places let a squirrel run across the wire and you lose electricity (no lie) but still most everyone I know is all electric. We remodeled a few years ago and I took out the butane. Can't stand gas. Have had too many cranky old ovens blow up in my face.

Brrrr, I swear it's colder now than it was at 6 am. The official weather says it's 18 degrees! The garbage truck is just now here so they're running an hour or two behind time today.
