Yeah, I'll just stick with the gas fueled central heating system here for the foreseeable future.
I did a pretty good job insulting the attic about 24 years ago.

The new HVAC system, I had installed a few years ago uses a heat pump as the primary heat source.Resistence heat is used as backup.The heat pump is CHEAPER to run-you aren't CREATING heat-just moving it which requires less power.The system is a Champion-the home division of York.
Best heating and cooling system for most US homes
It’s going to be a heat pump, hands-down.
Electric resistance he is the most expensive system. You can run and worst for the environment. When you consider the amount of electricity you’re burning and unless you’re 100% off the grid and could generate enough electricity, to use it, which almost no one can, I would not consider resistance electric for your primary heat.
Resistance, electric baseboards you have the smell of burning dust often when you fire them up and any system that does not circulate and filter the air remove pollen and humidity and air condition is not a good overall system for a home .
You end up with stinky kitchens bedrooms bathrooms without the air ventilation of continuous air movement throughout the house you end up with a lot more dust, pollen, etc. all over the house. These are the same problems you get with baseboard, hot water or radiator heat
, no thank you, we’ve moved beyond that years ago.
Say hello to the future, and the great indoors, even in climates, where you didn’t formally use air conditioning with the climate change and us aging folks having a whole house heating and cooling system that’s economical to run is really something I would recommend everybody think about.

My new electric car has a small heat pump in it for heat in cold weather-and as an AC for hot days-works VERY well!
