DaveH, we have electric heating in a large house & shop in the province with the most expensive electricity in the country.
I have installed a large airtight stove in the now insulated basement and a smaller one in the living room on the first floor.
I also have a small YÖTUL airtight in my shop.
I have the baseboard heater breakers turned off and still my power bills are high (lighting, cooking, hotwater, etc.).
I burn about 6-8 cord (1 cord = 128 cu.ft.) per winter.
The house is well insulated for one under 25 yrs. old but really too large for the two of us ( I chose it for the shop/garage space).
