A mixture of electric and natural gas. Natural gas to bring the whole house up to ~65F (~18.3c) and then I have electric radiators to make only the areas I am using comfortable.
That usually trends $120~$150/month in natural gas or around $1000/year. Financing a heat pump + installation could be $170 to $200 month in payments for 15 years.
I know the price of natural gas is going to sky rocket relatively soon but as Terry Pratchett’s boot theory illustrates, it is expensive being poor.
