I have electric appliances and heat. I also have a wood stove but don't use it as much.

I do not trust gas. I'm super sensitive to the smell they add to it and can smell a leak easily. It amazes me how many people have leaks and don't know or don't care.

I heat with a natural gas (methane) furnace, but have been turning the thermostat down to 60F and closing all the vents except for the room I'm in and supplementing that with a 1500w, oscillating, ceramic heater. Living alone makes this more reasonable than for a family. Actually I've found it to give me 'about' a 25%+ savings. My combined $$$ spent have certainly been considerably lower the past couple years but it is hard to get very accurate without inside/outside temperature differentials for the season.

My daughter also heats with natural gas but they supplement with a free standing soap stone wood burner piped into the fireplace that does an impressive job. Much more practical for a family with two small kids. Sonoutlaw has a supply of wood that only costs MUCH labor that he willing invests throughout the year.

themi01,

We use one of the new oil burners. Much more energy efficient than the one it replaced 3 years ago.
