Moving to 100% electric also means when the electricity is out, you're 100% out.

When we lost power for a week, the house was comfortable because the NG fireplaces still operated. We cooked on the NG stoves (neighbor friends didn't think to use a match to light it). Hot showers at night from an NG water heater.

If I had planned ahead, I'd have electricity from a 3-fuel carburetor genset tapped into the NG line. As it was, we just used gasoline for electricity.

Diversification adds resiliency.
