Out of curiosity, what is your main heating source.

Wood stove

Gas furnace.

Supplemented by a gas fireplace in the living room when desired (or for when the electricity goes out during a winter storm and the electric blower for the furnace can't run)

Nuclear fission. With supplemental NG.

Natural Gas fired Boiler w/ hydronic baseboard

Wood stove/propane furnace.

Mostly wood, but at times it gets a bit tiresome and it's nice to just get up in the morning and flip a switch.

If it’s really cold, three dogs.
Otherwise, natural gas forced hot air.

My wife

Electric central heat with 3 Dearborn propane heaters as emergency backup in case of power failure

Oil-fired baseboard hot water (hydronic) with pellet stove assist/backup.

Electric. Backup is a couple of fat girls.

My house was originally all electric, with baseboard resistance heating.
I put in a mini-split heat pump system for both A/C and heating about eight years ago.
That saved me about 40% on my electric bill.

I also put in a propane fireplace that lets us keep nice and warm without costing a fortune.
It's so nice sitting in front of that in the winter.

Central natural gas furnace. Plus I have a Rinnai NG heater that goes into the fireplace that heats the family room (20x20?) pretty well.

oil fired hot water.

Central Heat & Air units with heat provided by natural gas. The only problem is my wife does not like air blowing on her and believes healthy air means the window must be open.

Used to be natural gas forced air, now it’s an electric heat pump.

Natural gas forced air heat.

We have a (unused) fireplace that I’ve dreamed of putting in a NG or wood pellet insert as some supplemental heat.

Natural gas for the few days a year South Texas actually gets cold.

Electric heat pump.

Conventional air to air heat pumps. Open brick fireplace, but some would say that's not really heat. But it sure feels good.

If I had the $$ I'd get a geothermal system, though I think it's pretty rare.

I have a friend who built his house with his wife (their own two hands), and they use a wood stove to heat the whole house. He has conventional heat pump but never really uses if in the winter. He burns exclusively firewood he collects for free when he finds it, splits it with his hydraulic splitter, and dries it in a four cord capacity wood shed. Fills it up year round when he finds it and burns it down every winter.
