Mostly wood. Use propane to break the chill in the morning and keep from freezing (above 60 degrees) over night. This year I was a little behind on gathering wood before the snow flew so I'll be using alot of propane this winter.

 

In the trailer, it's a small oldstyle propane heater with clays. In the office, it's a two burner woodstove. Mostly used at night.

My son just bought an electric oil radiator for his place. Looks like an old style steam radiator. The coils have oil that heat up and circulates.

 

Propane fired forced air furnace and fireplace.

Wife LOVES burnin' the fireplace, esthetics and all. Thing is, the furnace is 90% efficient and the fireplace is only 80.

 

im in an apartment. i flip the switch and turn the lever and it heats itsself. i think it natural gas but im not sure. all i know for sure about my heat is my roommates think it only needs to be at 60 and i like it 75.

 

Natural Gas because it's cheaper. If you don't hit that link, you'll never see the humor in that statement.

Ivan was right- they offered all sorts of rebates and incentives to switch from electric, then shot rates into orbit. 'Course, the Electric Utility (in our case, Portland GE- a bankrupt subsidiary of Enron. Ahem) is currently under criminal investigation for illegally raising rates. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

 

Natural gas and I supplement or go to sole source with wood on demand (2 1/2 chords this winter). Nice to be able to wave bye-bye to my local utility company with just one finger . Thank God my house is real tight and cheap to heat/cool no matter how I slice or dice it.

*I sure wished we'd have another ice storm here; my generator needs some exercise.

 

I heat mine with 10 computers running 24/7 and a giant furry dog

 

the house im buying has a gas - pack (propane) heater. it once had a woodstove in it and shortly after i buy the home, it will have another i can get free hard wood vs. buying propane.

 

I use a vented propane heater but the house is only 935 square feet...

 

Here in the midwest(Mo.) I have a heat pump for when you don't really need heat ha ha and a wood furnace in the basement with blower and heat exchange hooked up to duct work. The wood furnace hooked in the end of a heat run, so it actually blows backward in the duct compared to the heatpump/elect. furnace, but works ok.ps why wasn't there a heatpump on the list? The elect. part is backup.
pss Also why wasn't free standing wood furnace listed also, and several outside wood furnaces around here.

 

Airtight woodstove and we will occassionally use the forced air electric to warm the kitchen when it's really cold out...

Got 2 years of wood split and piled in the back yard (I want 10 years piled up by the time the last kid leaves home LOL)

 

Well, since Wood Furnace wasn't listed, I checked woodstove. Big difference.

Wood stove = nobody wants to be in any room of the house other than the one with the stove in it.

Wood Furnace = everybody you know wants to be in your house. All winter. Seriously, they never leave. Wish they'd bring groceries.

 

We rarely need heat in West central FL. We never use ours, but most people have electric, and many of them switch fron A/C straight over to heat. We have all the windows open, it's 65 out, and I'm wearing shorts, t-shirt, and NO shoes! Sorry, guys.

 

We use the central gas heater mainly and when the temps dip below the 20s I burn firewood in the fireplace. With the fire properly stoked and a constant supply of dry wood that thing really heats up the open half of our house very well.

I've already burned through the two 20+ foot trees that I cut down from the front yard. Don't ask me how many cords that was because I have no idea how to calculate it. That reminds me, I need to go cut some more firewood. Any of you local Okies wanna make a firewood run with me soon? I've got a chainsaw and a couple axes.

 

Natural gas and a woodstove here. So many trees on the lawn dying all the time, wood is free! Now if I didn't have to run the chainsaw all summer...
