I think I calculated the payback on gas vs heat at 3-4 years.... electric heat is woefully inefficient (what Greta won't tell you...)

Very true on the electric heat. I have two baseboard heaters in my garage that are about 12 to 16 feet each. The first winter when we moved in the January was ridiculously cold. There was about three weeks where is was -15 and most of the time it was -20 or colder. I had cranked the heat and left it on all month at around 15 degrees. My utilitu bill for the month was an eye opening $1000. I learned my lesson quickly and now I use the heat much more sparingly.
