While all electric may very well be future of homes I find it to be a complete fucking fad right now. Our house is all electric right now and everything just seems so slow and annoying. Electric furnaces? Fine - but takes hours to warm up the house. The result is that our house constantly feels colder and heat pump is trying to catch up. Electric cooktop? Fucking thing takes forever to heat up anything - and once the coils heat up, they take forever to cool down also. What a fucking nuisance. Luckily our gas line should be installed next month - out goes the electric cooktop and in comes the gas range. And a few more years later, I am replacing the stupid electric heat with gas furnance.
