Over 5 years of home ownership in Alberta, I've found that I've paid as much or more for electrical than I have for Natural gas. Lately I pay more due to the fact that I'm running a home office, but I pay 120+ every month for electrical and my gas bills vary from 45 to 250 during the course of the year. I don't know why when they do mortgage calculations they ask you for heating costs of the house as I find electrical combined with your municipal water/sewer/garbage to be the bigger kick to the nuts.
