Do the math on the cost of gas and the cost of electricity per BTU delivered by each system...
Absorption systems work well with cheap heat energy, such as low-grade steam in a boiler plant. If you have to make your own heat, you must look at the cost of the energy to produce the heat, and gas is not as cheap as it used to be.
