So your heat is from electric? I've always had natural gas. Electric runs the blower for the furnace though.

I'm sure they all do. I would think the demand on the electric grid would be less if the main heat came from gas and not heat pumps and radiant heaters. We get temps like that all winter and never have problems with the electric grid. But also we have a whole lot less people. Either way green policies have consequences. Stay warm.
