Residential heating fuel share in Texas 2022, by type
Electricity is the most popular residential heating fuel type in Texas. In 2022, more than 60 percent of occupied housing units in the state relied on electricity for heating. Utility gas is the second most used house heating fuel type in the Lone Star State. The high share of electricity in residential heating meant that many Texans had to suffer sub zero temperatures following the Texas power crisis in February 2021.
