An electric home furnace is in the neighbourhood of 10 kW to 50 kW depending on the square foot area of the home. A 10 kW furnace would require a 50 amp sub feed from the main distribution panel, a 50 kW unit would require a complete 200 amp service.
In colder climates the cost of operating this type of furnace would be higher. The furnace's heating elements come on in stages depending on how cold the home is on start up. As the home reaches the thermostat set point the home will be maintained by just a couple of the elements.
Electric heating of the home is a very expensive way to heat, by blowing air over an element that looks like your oven element.
