Formula

1 KilowattHour = 3,412 BTU

Looks like almost 25KW. You will go bankrupt heating your house with electric.

You should not need a electric furnace that big to heat your home because you really cannot use a gas BTU conversion because your furnace is probably to big for your house to start with.

No a heat pump and a electric furnace will be cheaper.

Do a Google for that information. To many variables for me to calculate.
