We're paying the equivalent of $6.15 a gallon for our electric heat.
you should consider changing from a residential service to a general service

I only pay 15¢/kw for the first 500, then my rate drops to around 11¢, but there is a demand surcharge, if you can limit your demand to 5kw/hr there is no surcharge
