Not a bad Idea if we have enough renewable electricity to meet the demand and an upgraded infrastructure to deliver/manage the system. Burning fossil fuels for heating is not sustainable. Finite resources must not be wasted if there is an alternative.
If you really want to experience the fear of god, check out the old "Mr. Yuk" PSA from about 1971. It scared the hell out of me, and millions of other little kids. Even now, I still get a serious case of the creeps when I watch it.
As if the kids needed another reason to be afraid to go in the basement! LOL! I was older, so this didn't scare me, but I can see why it scared younger ones.
I have been looking for this commercial for ages. It scared me as a kid but by the time I was in high school I was wondering what that green faced thing was that scared me so long ago.
I used to have this character on a pin back when I collected those in the 80's.
I hate it when they anamorphosize utility devices

We used to pretend that was my aunt's furnace in her old home in the Ossington and Bloor area

It's a little unsettling seeing a furnace with a face, but it's not really THAT scary.

@DoctorPretorious616 Weird, yes...but I agree; not scary.

Funny, now it's cheaper to heat with Natural Gas than to use electric heating. Thanks a lot, Mr. McGuinty.

@jacketman22 Yes, yes; what was that announcement today: 46% rate increase for hydro over the next 5 years?

Hilarious. The furnace's face reminded me of Thomas the Tank Engine.
