There's also a lot of heating done with wood stoves, burning renewable locally sourced wood, too. Depends a lot on local context.
Also, there's a lot less efficiency loss burning oil directly for heat, compared to burning oil for steam for 40% electricity which then gets turned into AC with some further efficiency loss. I expect the AC cooling might still come out on top, but not be nearly as much as implied.
