Generally speaking, electricity is the most expensive "automatic" heating energy source. This may be due to the fact that fossil fuels (oil, gas, wood, etc.) can be burned right where heat is needed and electricity is often produced by burning fossil fuels, producing electricity, then delivering the energy to remote locations before it is actually used.
