It is a service like any other and like the guy who cuts your grass or fixes your transmission or builds you a house you get what you pay for in skill level and professionalism. 

Because of electricity generation and transmission losses, electric heat is often more expensive than heat produced in homes or businesses that use combustion appliances, such as natural gas, propane, and oil furnaces.If electricity is the only choice, heat pumps are preferable in most climates, as they easily cut electricity use by 50% when compared with electric resistance heating.

Keep in mind that Sam Walton is well known for driving around in a 1979 4x4, manual transmission pickup truck.  

For example, people who invest in single family homes rarely think about noise control issues, and extra insulation between units to cut down on sound transmission.

A heat pump is much more efficient, even factoring in power generation and transmission losses.

The first "real job" I had out of college was at Cummins in Columbus, IN, and later on Allison Transmission in Indianapolis.

It's more of a mesh topology which means a lot of nodes with short-haul transmission and lower power requirements.  

FL has EO21-81, which states the following: "Businesses in Florida are prohibited from requiring patrons or customers to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the business". 

The cost of electricity includes the cost of the fuel that produced it, but like half the bill is transmission.
