Hello everybody in the Florida Forum. In Oct we'll be moving into a house in Clearwater we're buying. I lived in Clearwater once for 6 months and am prepared for the heat and humidity. We are currently in Los Angeles. The main thing I like about LA is the weather. That's funny, the only thing I don't like about Clearwater is the weather (at least in the summer). Anyway, the house we are buying is a fixer upper but it's currently getting a new roof and new siding along with several other repairs. Utility wise it has gas and electric. My question is; wouldn't it be considerably less expensive to use gas for stove, water heating, house heating, instead of electricity? It currently has central A/C heating using gas but everything else is electric.

Hi. Just happened upon this question. I lived in FL my entire life mostly Clearwater Largo area. The only electric alternatives I saw used were either heating oil or propane. Not really sure if there is natural gas, where, or how much, but I never saw it anywhere.
I believe this area is covered by FL Progress for electricity. Try their website maybe they can help.

No. There is gas in Clearwater. Many of the home we checked out were all electric but this one definately has gas.
