Reasons for Electric Heat
Nov

2013
I recently wrote a blog post about my electric bill. The reason my bill is higher than my neighbors’ is that my house uses electric resistance heat. It is not unheard of, but it is unusual enough that people are surprised by it.
We are hoping to move next year. That implies that we are going to try to sell our house. Having an unusual heating arrangement may scare off some potential buyers. I am hoping to prevent that by making a flyer that people will see when they come to see the house.
Reasons why electric heat is better than a furnace:
- No Maintenance
- Zones
- Will Not Kill You While You Sleep
- Better for Allergies
- Quiet
- Green
- Outages
Maybe it won’t persuade everyone, but it should at least reduce their prejudices against electric heat.
The only thing not on the list is cost. That’s because electric is not better than gas or propane on that point.
But it’s not as bad as people think. And since we switched to electric from heating oil (fuel oil), our costs have gone down. I do plan on providing the numbers so that potential buyers can see how much we spend to heat the house.
Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Here’s another one: you can’t curl up next to a vent on the ceiling on a cold morning.

We say amen to all those reasons. Cannot imagine having a furnace.
