We have a gas heater in the living room and down the end of the hall. It keeps this house pretty warm, sometimes too warm, but of course this house is small only about 1200 square feet or less I'm guessing. We turned everything over to gas a few years ago after all the electric bills were out of sight including the stove too. It makes a huge difference. We rented the ugly gas tank out in the yard at first, but then decided to buy one. That way, when we need to buy gas, we call around to all the companies and see who has the best deal on prices as it always seems to be a bidding war. Right now they are all running sales. If we have the money at hand, we will fill it up all the way, if not, then we only get the amount we want at that time. We save tons of money by doing the gas and I'd never go back to electric again. Between the heater and all gas utilities it costs us about $700. a year total.
