Reply to comment by SynbiosVyse in Is it more efficient for me to heat my home with my ductless mini split or my old boiler? by CatoFriedman

Gas as in Natural Gas? Yes, that's much cheaper if you have the same electric rate as the OP. Much cheaper! Assuming again a bad efficiency of 80%, a 2.6COP, natural gas would need to be under $4.35 a therm, which Eversource is $2.51. if you have a 92% efficiency, you'd be at $5 equivalent, so natural gas would be half the cost of the heat pump.
