When it comes to heating your home there are many different options for the fuel that you use. The main fuel types that you can choose from are Oil, Electric, Natural Gas, Propane, and Coal-based solid fuels, and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). To better understand your options we'll go into the pros and cons of each.
Oil is delivered to you and stored in a large tank in your home which differentiates it from other energy sources which are basically on 'tap'. You usually pay for the oil on delivery as the amount pumped into your tank may vary each visit which can make it difficult for budgeting. It also means that you need to watch how full your tank is so you never run out. Cost wise it is a little more expensive than gas but probably the best option in rural areas where there is not a gas or electric lines set up. The biggest issue with oil is that the price fluctuates quickly with world events. An average price for a household is around $2,526. Oil is easily controlled and has twice the carbon content and emissions when compared to gas but only 2/3 that of coal. Fewer people are using oil each year.
Another great trick you can use to improve your efficiency is to check your windows and doors for air leaks and seal them with caulk or weather stripping. This method for conservation is extremely economical and is also very simple, so you will be able to maintain it without breaking the bank or your back.
Saving Time and Torment
Anyone that has tried to manage a fire they started on their own will tell you that it's an agonizing process. You will have to continue going back to your fire to make sure that it has enough fuel to keep going. Occasionally, you will find some sort of fire building material that has been compromised. You will have to work your way around this setback in order to have a fire that will burn for an extended period. It takes some time to be able to have this process down pat. There will be times where you will have to deal with fires taking a lot of time to start. All you have to do when you want to start your electronic fireplace is hit a switch.

So if you are considering installing a furnace or a different heating format weigh the pros and cons of each option and see what is available in your area. The best bet would be natural gas but it really is up to you.
