In regions with mild winters, the math has worked out in favor of going electric for some time. In Michigan, just over 10 percent of home heating is done using electric sources, compared to Florida, where over 90 percent is electric. Retrofitting existing buildings with electric systems is, of course, a much bigger challenge.
