How do you heat your home?  We have a gas furnace.

We have had an electric heat pump for years.  The heat is not as hot as some other systems, but we have gotten used to it.

We use the big heater or little personal heater to warm our place.

We have a gas furnace too. In the 70's we tried heating our home with a Jotul (European) woodstove. The stove worked just great and kept our home toasty warm and dry, but our neighbors complained about the smell of the wood burning bothering them so we had to stop doing that. I was really sorry to have to stop.

I use a portable heater from Duraflame as opposed to the heaters attached to the walls to save and conserve electricity.

I have wall heaters and I bought free standing heaters from Walmart.  We don't have central a/c since we live in southern Oregon and it usually doesn't get that hot.  But my last months electricity bill was $250...so it does get cold.

We have an out door wood burning furnace that also heats our hot water. We also have a wood stove in the house.

I live in an all-electric DW. I have found out that insulation makes all the difference in your bill. Even though I live in a 1900 sq ft home, my bill is half what it was for a single-wide mobile. The insulation was the major contributing factor. Twice the size for half the money is outstanding!

We heat by oil, but have a wood burning fireplace in the family room which we have running most of the time.
