Subject: RE: BS: need a new stove---radiant vs. electric?
Actually, I *just* wrote the check for my gas bill. 103 therms cost $85.90. That works out to $0.83398058252427184466019417475728 (oh, heck, call it $0.84 per therm). That includes a high-efficiency gas furnace and one gas water heater. Of course, it will go down during the summer when the furnace isn't used (the air conditioning will be, though).
I don't have the figures for KW/hr for electricity at hand. My last check to Idaho Power was for $130.10, but that was for two places instead of just this one. That includes one electric water heater, one electric furnace, and the electric stove. But we weren't really in the house for the period covered, and as I said, it covered two places.
