northeast people what do you heat your house with

Solar panels and gas forced hot air.

Currently gas, had oil in the last house, gas in the one prior to that.
I'll take gas any day. Oil was a pain. Seemed like they were always nickel and diming me to death with bills for stuff on top of oil deliveries...underground oil tank insurance policy, boiler maintenance plan, etc. Plus, I still had gas anyway for the stove / dryer.
Gas is easy...no deliveries, I can't run out, and I don't have a basement that smells like a truckstop.

Oil fired hot water, and a prayer for mild weather!
It's going into the single digits this weekend!!
I hope my boat's OK!

Nothing heats like a good air tight wood stove. Keep a pot of water on top for moisture.

My parents have oil, I have oil. Never smelled oil in my basement. I spot buy, so I get good prices. Put a new burner in 8 years ago. Cut my oil consumption by about two thirds. The weather guy is on TV as I'm writing this. A high in the teens this weekend!!!!

Gas / Hot water

Keep a pot of water nearby to put out the rug after the burning embers set it off!!

Liberator - I was too lazy to spot buy. As for the oil smell, maybe if I replaced the boiler, it would have burned cleaner and more efficiently. It was pretty old.
Now my only problem is that I doubled in sq. footage when I bought my current house. I was a little surpised by last month's gas bill. (First winter in this house.)

How I stay warm in the long winter months
