I dont use gas but my electric heating was $170. If I still used gas my guess would be somewhere around $450 or a little more.

I am confused at how electric heating is cheaper than gas out here!

Mini splits with a heat pump. Very efficient. Aka ductless hvac.

I like that idea. I would do that in my house along with well insulated 3x pane windows. All of this stuff is super expensive, but the good thing is if you solar your whole roof it will heaviky offset the cost of running the mini splits. Add a larger/oversized wood burner and I would keep the house at 78 all winter 😎

Im not sure about this year but I know last year there was quite a large tax credit for getting them installed, so that took care of most of the upfront expense.
