I don't even know. It comes out of a vent. Electric?

Natural Gas.

Our old place was electric.  Our new house is oil.  I'm not excited about how much we're going to spend to heat the place this winter

Gas. MH would heat the house solely using our wood burning stove if I'd keep it going, but I told him no. Give me a break- this isn't Alaska: the last frontier.

Electric.  Every time I say that, I want to follow it up with boogie woogie.

We use electric and wood depending on how cold it is. If we don't need to hear the house much we use the heater but if it's cold enough, we save on money by using the wood stove.

Oil. I hate when we have to refill the tank - it is so expensive!

Mostly wood. It's that or oil. Oil is so expensive. We use the wood when.one of us is home and keep the oil as backup for when we're not home but we keep it set at like 60 so we don't use too much.

I put wood but its really a pellet stove that we use. We also have oil but try not to use that since the price of fuel oil is ridiculous compared to the price of a ton of pellets. We use about 2 tons per winter and that costs about $500, compared to the price of 100 gallons of fuel- $350. It is much cheaper to use the pellet stove.

Natural gas. Unlike @zoeyjack‌ we look forward to when we can use a woodstove to heat the whole house

No, I look forward to it- it's way warmer & toastier when we use it. I just don't want to tend a fire all day everyday. And it's another hazard I'd rather not have to worry about!
ETA: AND my husband thinks of this money saving idea when he could just cut out his $20 lunch everyday instead.

NG and wood. It is so much cheaper than compared to our old place (oil) and the house is much warmer.

When we bought the house it still had the original coal burning furnace which had been converted to oil at some point. It was a beast. We switched to natural gas after the first winter; we had to replace it with 2 furnaces.   @-)
