Heating Option: gas vs electric

Max Smetiouk
Posted

What's better for heating gas or electric? Building a cabin in a tourist destination that does not have easy access to gas or electric.

So I will need to run electric line anyway and considering installing underground propane tank, is it worth it?

Let's roughly say running electric line is $10k

Installing underground propane tank 1000gal is $10k

What's your experience heating with gas vs electric in terms of warmth? Cost effectiveness? 

Thank you for any feedback.

Folks still like gas for cooking and it can be used for the fireplace to avoid wood/sparks/soot/etc.
