Households in Nevada use about as much electricity as the national average and pay 23% less than average. Cheap power absorbs most of that: the meter turns faster here, but at 13.60¢ each unit costs less than it does nationally. The climate is fairly balanced — 4,300 heating degree days against 1,800 cooling ones — so neither season dominates the bill.

What this means for heating
Nevada sees around 90 freezing nights a year. Whether a heat pump beats a furnace here depends on the gap between those two prices above — not on the equipment.
