I feel for you guys with no natural gas lines to your homes...it is so much less expensive than most other alternatives (I know heating oil is common in the Northeast). Whenever a house in my county is on the market for a long time in an otherwise very popular area, I often notice the home has electric heating. I know a guy who moved to my county from California because he wanted to build a large custom home on acreage within 40 miles of a major city, wanted pine trees, and didn't want to be cold. Other than in California (which would have cost much more) my county was a logical choice. He found a lot he liked, and then either asked the county or the gas company (can't remember which) if a gas line could be run to his property. He was told yes. He bought the lot. He neglected to get an estimate for the gas line before buying the lot. Big mistake. Learned after purchasing the lot that running the line would be 375k. He ended up going electric instead. In some markets or particular situations having electric heating doesn't seem to be a hindrance to resale. My aunt and uncle's place at Lake Tahoe has electric heating, but places in their development so seldom come on the market that available ones get snapped up pretty quickly.

Oh we have gas here. My problem is the house came with a 550 gallon buried oil tank. To convert to gas, the tank has to be removed. If they find anything wrong its $$$$$ to fix it. And I dont trust them to NOT find anything wrong!
WHen we bought the house in 92 I spent $400 to have the gas pipe installed since they were cooking and dry clothes with electric.

I'm glad we have our choice of electric companies in Texas, and the mandated Centerpoint Energy for gas is okay. For most of my life I've had PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) as a provider. I can't stand PG&E and don't trust them..for two reasons right off the top of my head -- 1. See the movie Erin Brockovich...300 million dollar plus judgement against PG&E in lawsuit re water they knew they contaminated. 2. In 2010 there was a gas line explosion in San Bruno, California. PG&E initially tried to stick the ratepayers with the costs. There was a public outcry. The ratepayers didn't end up paying the costs...the company (thus the shareholders) paid $562 million in claims, and an insurance company paid a bit in claims on top of that.

Perhaps they are just trying to get your number for marketing purposes. 877 is a toll free prefix, which means your number is always visible when you are calling that number.....because they are 'paying for the call'.

I wish I could design my ideal state, taking the things I like best from Texas, Florida, and California . (primarily family, weather, and skiing on that last one ).
