You should start with insulation and air sealing, which is going to have a much higher ROI than changing your heating type. I would also suggest Googling the “energy efficiency pyramid” for other low hanging fruit on reducing your electricity consumption that should be pursued first.

Thank you very much! I guess I can get more information about insulation from an auditor once I am able to get an appointment. Do you have experience with this kind of work?

The simplest thing to start is to walk around to your windows when it is cold, and just feel for drafts. Roll up a towel, or use something like grey caulk weather cord (something cheap from any hardware store) to block drafts. For doors, there are a variety if fixes, with a rolled up towel a quick fix for drafts under the doors.
