If I had to guess, natural gas is probably less expensive, but it's not an option where I live, unless I want to convert to LP gas, such as propane. I do know that a cold winter can lead to electric costs much higher than the costs during the heat of summer.<br /><br />I do have a water well.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-65044750329155488662022-12-19T21:01:24.887-06:002022-12-19T21:01:24.887-06:00Electric heat is expensive, eh?

Days below freezing usually mean plenty of frozen water pipes, exceptionally high heating bills, too many wrecks for those that don't understand ice on overpasses, and power outages. I have a generator, so I can heat at least a couple of rooms with a space heater. <br /><br />You have a Merry Christmas too.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15969361446367636746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-8219745639805687922022-12-19T13:01:20.263-06:002022-12-19T13:01:20.263-06:00Up here we are supposed to warm up a little but wh...Up here we are supposed to warm up a little but who knows.
