Does that also apply if your new house is in Alaska?

[xiphias2]

Probably not, but we're talking about moderate climate (you couldn't pay me enough to move to Alaska).

And of course I'm talking about a modern heat pump, not direct electric heating.

Homes in Alaska use natural gas for heating at about the same rate as the national average. Fuel oil is the overrepresented heating fuel there.

Straw man

I don't agree with their line of thinking but that's not even remotely a strawman.
