Their total electric bill for last year was $196.62. They estimate their cost for electric heating at $138.00. **We have never heated for as little as that since we came to this country," say the Kruckeburgs. 'It has always been more." "Our previous home was a little smaller than our present one, and we were paying up to $80.00 a year more to heat with another system." "Some people still think electric heating is expensive, but when they say that, I just show them my bills. We would never switch back to any other heating system." Electrically heated homes, insulated to Hydro standards, cost no more to heat than homes with other systems. In fact, in many areas in Ontario it actually costs less to heat a home electrically.
