Reading the posts below is interesting. We live in North East Colorado and it is either electric, propane, or natural gas. Nobody here uses heating oil anymore that I know of. I'm sure there are a few that still do in rural areas. When I built my house 20 years ago I had a choice of LP or NG. I darn near put in LP due the cost of getting a NG tap to the place, but after talking with the utility company that provides NG we went with it. The utility company paid for most of the cost of having it ran to the house as we were given a construction allowance from them. They paid the first $3,500 of the cost. It ended up only costing me $1,500 out of my pocket so we went with it. we use NG for everything except the clothes dryer. It turned out to be a good thing. We never run out, we don't have to play the price game that the neighbors go through each year depending on who owns the tank and when you lock in for the year, and the price while it goes up a little each year has been pretty stable. Our electric is really high here and people don't heat with it unless it is low use and not the primary source. We can heat our small house (1,300 sq ft) for $70 or less a month and keep the house 68 to 70. Neighbors that are using propane are spending around $200 a month to do the same. Some get by with lower heat bills, but don't heat the house above 60 to 65. Another thing that is popular in our area is heat pumps. They seem to work good until it gets really cold and then they won't keep up. To get them to keep up they use an electric boost or propane boost. In this case the propane boost is the most cost efficient way to do it. A friend of mine had a house on a heat pump with an electric boost and his electric bills were unreal in the winter. He showed me his bill one month and it was over $400 during the winter. I like NG. Clean, low maintenance and is by far the least costly way to heat and cook.
