Q. What’s best: electric, gas, or oil heat?

 

Keep in mind, 1/3 of the energy used in a typical household is from hot water. And electric heat, on average, can cost up to four times as much as natural gas, propane, or oil furnaces. Natural gas heat is very popular and is about 80% efficient. The downside: the danger. Though not a regular occurrence, a furnace leak can result in fire or explosion; a smaller leak can cause carbon monoxide problems. And lastly, oil heat. Today's oil furnaces burn efficiently and with far less pollution than years ago. Oil is also safe, but it's important to shop around for price--look into purchasing your oil off-season. And consider a "tankless" system-which means your oil burner will heat your hot water too... and maximize efficiency.
