Not quite – some energy was lost converting from its source form to electricity. If you heat your house by directly burning natural gas (the most common way in cool countries like the UK) then it can still have an efficiency advantage over converting electricity to heat.

The fossil fuel infrastructure (even disregarding extraction), is not zero cost either.
