In this region, most houses have some sort of heat to get them through the winter.
I have friends who have wood burning stoves, which is an excellent source of heat but requires a lot of manual labor. I have friends who have electric furnaces, but those aren’t reliable during the toughest winter storms due to power outages. I also have friends who have gas furnaces and those always work out the best. I have a gas furnace myself because it made the most sense for my home and my needs. My house isn’t in a super populated area, so when the power goes out, it can take days for someone to come fix it. I can’t survive in a house without heat when the temperature regularly drops below freezing, which is why a gas furnace was essential. I do have a real fireplace in my living room, but that requires a lot of preparation and tending. The fireplace is more for looks and emergency situations. Having a gas furnace installed instead of an electric furnace was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The only major concern I have with a gas furnace is carbon monoxide poisoning. Thankfully, with regular HVAC maintenance, I can avoid issues like this and stay safe. I also have several carbon monoxide detectors around the house that bring me peace and assurance. I know a few people who refuse to use a gas furnace due to carbon monoxide, but they’re always the ones who need a place to stay when their electricity goes out.
