Seems like NG, heat pump, and radiant water system is the way to go.
I know its a good bit of money up front but it seems like all these things combined with DIY solar is the way to go to have option. |
My old HS Tarm boiler will take a gas burner. Plug-n-play..
(Or, I could toss in some wood or coal).
But, there is a problem..
No gas pipes on my street!! 
My daughter has gas heat and it's not bad at all. I kinda like it.
We are using a Sanyo mini-split (Ductless) ASHP ($2,500) unit for most of our heating.(And all of our cooling).
The cost is peanuts compared to oil.. Even at the old prices.
Now it's heading for $4/gallon. Humm, $2,500 / $4 = 625 gallons..
That's only a few visits from the oil truck..
ASHPs pay for themselfs pretty fast these
Gadhafi days..
