Do you use natural gas, or oil or maybe a wood burning stove or something else? Curious as to how everyone heats their homes.

I use oil to heat my home. I have heard that natural gas is cheaper but for some reason I feel safer with oil. But the prices of oil havent come down this year and I heard natural gas did. Is that true did you hear anything about this?

The place in which I live we have a moderate temperature ven in winters. So we need not heat our houses. Infact we switch on the fan in the afternoons. It is a bit chilly only in the night and a thick wollen blanket is sufficient to fight the cold.
