We also have electric baseboards to bolster the heat. They get expensive.

The thing I'd like about all electric is that it provides extra options for off-grid power; we can't explore that at our current house, but if we were shopping around I'd be factoring in the idea of a household battery backup & solar (and maybe wind).
