What Is Your Heat Source?

just got a kerosene heater from Walmark, great buy, set my reg. heat at 65 during the day and turn the kerosene heater on when my wife and i gets home in the evening. i turn it off around 11:30pm or midnight before i go to bed. by the time the temp goes down to 65 its morning already. as we speak its on and its 79!
 
All electric, with an enclosed fireplace (similar to a wood stove) for backup. We tend to keep the household around 64 degrees, and because of good insulation, this seems to require little additional heat input.
 
Electric... I already miss my wood burning stove...
 
san diegos sun. still using the air conditioner in the car. but i heard some people i know use stoves that burn corncob or something like that. seems pretty cheap to use.
 
natural gas

Even here in TX I spend $1200 a year on natural gas for heating in winter and water heater in summer.
 
Natural gas. 2 years ago we replaced our old furnace with a high-efficiency one, which means the exhaust no longer goes out the chimney but through the new input/output tubes to the side of the house, just seems weird.

We're looking at a high efficiency furnace too. Since it vents out the side of the house, what about the hot water tank? Does it still exhaust through the chimney?
 
Coal here...

Last winter it cost maybe $3-400 to heat the house.. sometimes it was so hot we were opening doors to cool down..
