Alright...I am wondering if any of you experts can answer my question because I have a boat load of conflicting data.
I live in Fargo ND. We are building a house and I am trying to decide between gas vs hybrid electric. It will be installed in a decent size mechanical room in the basement. Install cost for the gas is $2850 and the Hybrid is $2400. Gas is currently $1.18/therm and elec is .106/kwh. Family of 5 (three daughters...yes...I'm screwed).
What is more effecient and what would you suggest?
Lots of data out there, but I'm having a hard time finding anything convincing either way.
I've done a lot of research and my calculations show the hybrid is cheaper to run and cheaper to install (using energy.gov calculations) but others tell me different.
Thanks.
Tom
