Gas forced air....costs very little....highest bill so far about $140 and that includes a 50 gallon water heater....not bad for a 2700sq foot house+ heated garage and temps rarely above 25! (Its NINE right now)

We have a fireplace but it needs internal repairs that we don't want to deal with/pay for right now, I'll fix it in the summer and use it next year. I set the house to a cool 66 degrees and add extra heat to the room we are in with an electric heater.

Helps to have a 92+ % efficiency furnace....I also re-capture heat from the dryer and such. (electric not gas!)

Once I replace all of our windows it will likely save us a bundle on our bills.
