We heat with a wood stove. If it gets entirely frigid, because the heat
does not disseminate well from the family room back to the bedrooms, we use
the
occasional space heater (electric). When we moved into this house 11 years
ago, we spent one winter heating with the gas furnace. Gas bills that winter
were $500 to $600 a month (and that was, remember, a decade ago). We
installed the wood stove and can heat an entire winter for roughly $700.
However,
it does not circulate heat well -- pockets, in the house, of heat and cold. I
have long lusted after a pellet stove (no more indoor ash mess! Good house
circulation of heat!) but the cost is prohibitive.
