With the rising costs of electricity and oil my heart goes out to alot of people with winter approaching. Just wondering what heat source you all have in your homes. I have a wood and oil furnace, but I refuse to buy a drop of oil at these prices. So it looks like I'm going to be just burning wood.
 
I switched from natural gas to a heat pump last year thank goodness!! I was paying upwards of 2500 dollars for gas in the winter of 2003, I couldn't even begin think of what it would cost now.
 
I'll wear warm clothing and snuggle under a blanket. :)
 
Natural gas. This winter will be bad for heating costs, even with government subsidies during the coldest months. Just had an energy audit done on the house to see how we can save money on energy. We need a new furnace (no surprise there). Our woodburning fireplace is a big source of heat loss, so we're blocking it for the winter, and will put in a gas insert next year. And are insulating every other possible place for heat loss: electical outlets and switches, windows, crawl space, etc. At least our attic has had an insulation upgrade already.
 
a Oiled filled Radiant electric heater that you get from Walmart for $35 will heat a single wide mobile home and they are CHEAP .. and we have on in our bedroom .. we had that one goin last month just the one the electric bill only went up $30 for the month .. so it aint gonna be to much more for the winter .. and trust me those things heat reall good and are safe ..
