I use a heat pump electric. North carolina

220V electric baseboards with Honeywell digital programmable thermostats. if you have electric baseboard heat these things are a godsend.

going to a woodstove as soon as my remodel is done. converted barn with 800 square feet finished, another 1900 to go, electric bill is around $150 a month in the winter.

These things are so simple its ridicules...oil is burnt in this can, exhaust is passed thru a series of tubes and air is blown thru to warm room. I replace the fuel filter once a year, and sometimes I have to clean the flame sensor. that's all I have done in 5 years, besides keeping it clean.
I don't know how big your place is, but my brother has a 30 in his garage, and only builds a fire if really cold.

Propane/woodstoves. Installed the woodstoves because the propane alone was about 500 a month or two...

Primarily, a wood stove in my basement with an electric furnace circulating the air. It also serves as back up heat at night or when we are gone.

Main part of the house is heated with a gas pac. Got a pellet stove in the basement. If over night temperatures drop to freezing, load a 40 pound bag and light it up, saves a lot on propane. The propane then doesn't come on at all unless it drops below 26 or so outside. A ton of pellets lasts all winter with some left over. First winter we had the pellet stove they were $130 a ton, last year they cost me $235 a ton. Got about 3 weeks worth still on hand before I need to get more. New addition is heated with a heat pump.

Our shop at work is heated with a waste oil furnace. Now that is the way to do it. When we got it, 2002, it was costing us right at 10 cents a gallon to get rid of waste oil. Last week they pumped the tank and our business manager negotiated with Safety-Kleen, they paid us 45 cents a gallon for waste oil. Might see about heating the house with waste oil sometime soon too.

Well I guess the price of pellets has gone up on both coasts. I remember that a bag was $2 to 3.50 a bag.

Some of are going to hate me, but I don't even need to heat my home, or use A/C either. Got tired of paying the high (& ever increasing) heating and A/C bills, so moved to where I don't need either one.

I use coal most of the time. At $140 a ton and it heats my 2800 sq.ft. house for 1 1/2 months to 78 deg. Spring and Fall I use propane/electric when it is too warm to burn coal.

farmer0_1

the 100 year old farm house has a wood convection furnace and a wood stove use both when its under 40f . new house is being drawn up as we speak. budgeting radiant floor heat with outside used oil boiler and solar panels

We have a propane heating unit which is our main source. To supplement, we have a wood furnace that has a heat exchanger which blows heat through a duct to the rest of the house duct work
When we have a fire the propane doen not run!!!
