Agree about the history, but is it really true that NG gets to the house more efficiently than electricity? I'd be curious to see a study and/or numbers.
lol ... yeah used to have a 100 year old house, know what that's like. Well I'm up in sunny Northern California this morning generating from my panels
Are heat pumps done much in California? My impression was that it was mainly a Midwest/Eastern thing.
Some people *cough*wife*cough*, especially in historic homes, will want to keep natural gas for stoves and fireplaces. As I sit here in Los Angeles this morning at 9AM on a gloomy June morning, my wife is using our gas fireplance because it makes the family room cozy... sigh.
And I don't see getting rid of both our furnaces any time soon. But at least I can put in a heat pump in parallel (mostly for cooling), switch the water heater to a heat pump, and get a heat pump clothes dryer when the current one needs.
