I believe that an electric refrigerator is 100% efficient at producing heat in your house, i.e. nothing goes up a chimney or flue vent as it does with a gas furnace. All the heat generated stays in the house just as with electric resistance heaters which are also 100% efficient.
The issue would be which fuel is cheaper per btu, gas or electricity.
