Know from school that the #1 room conditioning problem is condition loss due to air exchanges. Okaye.....so we seal up our houses nice and tight. Great for efficiency, but er ah we do have to breathe!
So I have an O2 sensor in the bedroom and on good days open the house and use the attic fan for a quick O2 refresher.
Problem with electric is power loss due to whatever, weather, car hits a utility pole, grid lock, etc. I do have a couple of backup gasoline generators which I used in the last ice storm where power was out for 4 days. But since it's portable, it is clumsy and limited to what I plug into the extension cord.
I use my wood stove as primary (requiring outside air but I can shut that off if not in use), LP radiant wall heaters 95% or so efficient with an O2 sensor built in (shuts it off if low) and in the BR electric oil radiators since they are safe and quiet....no fan, natural convection. If I loose power no biggie with them. Cook stove and hot water are also Propane.
Had neighbors with all electric and no gen and their places were a real mess with frozen pipes and all, not to mention no nothing during the outage.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
