400A!

I heat my entire home with electric, baseboard heaters, and have 200A. And it gets to -40C where I live!

(Power comes from hydroelectric, and is cheap)

What are you doing?

Wow that would be exceptionally expensive. In cold areas I've seen people with moderately sized homes have $1000 bills in the cold months in ontario.

Quebec. Power is much, much cheaper there.

Some clarity. Power is cheaper than natural gas, or oil for heating typically in Quebec.
