    Gas. We are buying an electric fireplace this weekend though, since gas prices are going through the roof

    Wood. We have new woodstove for this winter and 10 cords of wood stacked up in the yard.

    We also have a propane furnance for back up, but we rarely use it. We had electric baseboard heaters too, but we disconnected all of them. Way too expensive to even consider using them.
    If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you must find the courage to live it.

    My furnace runs off of fuel oil &/or Kerosene. I can even mix the 2 together.
    Fuel oil gums up below 30F so I usually just have Kerosene, it's a little more expensive but it's cheaper than replacing my furnace when the oil gums up & ruins it.
    It's not that bad either, it costs me about $400-500 to heat all year long, even last year when we had a LOT of below zero days.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Our downstairs unit runs off of natural gas in the winter........it is a "gas pac", electric in the summer and gas in the winter. The upstairs unit is a heat pump, which is totally electric. We also have a wood burning stove as well as a kerosene heater. As long as my birds are warm enough, the rest of us will be fine, I'm sure. I'm trying to add layers and prep everyone to dress warmly because I do NOT want those units running constantly!

    We have oil (the front half of the house) propane (the back half) and three fireplaces. Probably next year we're ditching the propane and oil furnaces and installing a wood pellet burning furnace. (One heck of a lot cheaper than burning dead dinosaurs)
