Must depend where you live – Perth – Australia gas would be cheaper if you had piped gas.

It would be cheaper, with the immense cost of gas here, (dont know how cheap gas is in america, but you can be sure its at least 4x more expensive here) and the relatively cheap cost of electric, it would work out cheaper

It’s probably going to work out about the same. A lot of people assume electricity will be cheaper, because they heat their homes with gass….they figure 600 or so every two months to heat their house, electricity must be cheaper, right? Then when they switch they see their electric bill go up 300 a month… It’s up to you. You’re going to pay through the nose either way. Best to just throw on a thick sweater, heavy socks and a blanket and tough it out.
