Question Anybody heat their home with Electric

Hey all,

Well i've been renting for the last 7+ years so I basically have zero equity to my name. I found a house for sale. I drive 1.5 minutes to work currently. This house would be 15 minutes from work which means more gas money.

There is no A/C in the house for sale. The house is heated with all baseboard electric heat. Does anyone on this board heat their home with baseboard elec heat? I'm not crazy about it. Because there is no forced air system in the house, there is no duct work so options for an A/C are limited. The windows are crank outs which limit the options even further. The house has older wood siding. It could use vinyl siding within 3 years or so. It's got a 2 car garage with blacktop drive. Has a good sized shed out in back. Absolutely no neighbors to the back. It's all open farm land.

I just don't know about the electric heat thing and the cost to heat the home. Any pros or cons to it? Should I stay away from this house or what?

I'll attach some pics... Price is firm at $73,000

Thanks for any info
