two carrier heat pumps
Propane gas - I can never get the politicians close enough to use their "hot air". By the way, I have had to go a budget plan this past year which seems to at least psychologically help deal with the costs.
Havc System
Pellot Stove!
Heat pump and fireplace woodstove insert. There is nothing like backing up against blazing fire in the midst of winter to heat your bones.
Electric baseboard with controls in each room
oil furnace
Chesapeake Utilities piped in from the street
Oil Furnace. Great heat but oil prices dictate where the thermostat sits.
Heat pumps and Gas logs
oil
also have electric baseboard heat with separate controllers in each room if we don't want to heat the whole house but want spot heat (kids' rooms)
Oil Furnace
Oil Furnace and wood/corn burning pellet stove.
Oil furnace
oil heat, hot water baseboard heat. a new furnace has cut the cost and the house is warmer at a much lower temperture setting
Electric baseboard controlled in each room.
Heat pump and warm blankets.
Oil fired hot water, with woodstove backup.
Electric
Heat pump
Electric furnace. OMG and im paying through the roof each month
Natural Gas-the only way to go!
Years past, the heat pump and the wood stove but this year I'm trying just the new pellet stove.
Sparingly, I can't afford the $300 a month electric bills!! Bought a wood stove back in the spring but can't seem to find anyone to install it.
Propane and cuddling with the hubby
Two Heat Pumps and Pellet Stove
Individual controlled electric baseboard PLUS Pellet stove insert.
Without the pellets our electric/heat bills have been $600/month in the past.
Propane gas and have been on a budget payment plan with a lock in rate for several years.
Chesapeake Utilities is piped into our home. City Limits!
Two Wood Stoves. One at each end of the house..... Propane tank is empty....
1200 sq. heat with oil fired hot water baseboard.. used 450 gallons of oil last year.(1/08-1/09)
We bought a pellet stove last year. We LOVE IT.
We have electric baseboard heat throughout,and usually turn it off in rooms we do not use to save $$$.People assume it is the most expensive heat but it was a lifesaver a few years ago when heating oil and gas products skyrocketed.While others were paying monthly gas/oil bills around $500 or more,our coldest month netted a $318 electric bill-not bad when you consider all our appliances and hot water is electric also.Baseboard heat is also darn near maintenance free!You can clean units and forget them and replace as needed.
We do have a 3 brick wall mounted gas heater in the den but its merely backup for a power outage.
electric heat and the oven
Geothermal...the ONLY way to go
Freakin' expensive propane but it's definitely warm! Had a heat pump for years and FROZE! It was even more expensive though when Penninsula Oil was overcharging us and our neighbors! Now we have a trustworthy local company and our cost is much more reasonable!
Electric, been trying to get Delmarva power out to my house for 3 years now because they claim I use around $400 a month in electric, but there is no way my tiny 1300 sq ft house is scarfing down that kind of electric! Keep the thermostat at 66, me and the kids walk around with sweaters and blankets to stay warm! Yet they will not come check my meter.
May the bird of paradise fly up the CEO's nose!!!
Mainly a Lopi wood stove which has has been fantastic source of heat for 15 years without a single problem. In coldest months, we use gas hot air furnace as a backup but gas bill is never over $100 and that includes out hot water and cooking.
When going through menopause, no heat is turned on in the house, thereby savings tons of money on the electric bill !!
