All of them do cost but will save money in over time. I saved up and installed electric central heat & ac in my house and wasn't sure what to expect this past winter but was knocked off my feet with the reduction in monthly bills! I was warmer and it literally cost me half of what it did to heat with gas! Even with the increase I still won't be paying what I was before! PLUS I get to stay cool in the summer and it's totally within budget as well! One of the guys on Luray (since moved and we have cute new neighbors there) Installed a pellet stove that worked from a thermostat to heat his house. He bought pellets in bulk and spent about 400-500 bucks to heat his house for the winter! There are a ton of alternatives out there now. All of them do cost but will save money in over time.

So much for the idea of, "Well I will just turn the heat down and use a space heater." Then your money will be going to Dominion. I plan on doing the same.

I plan on using our fireplace for heat as much as possible prior to turning on the furnace. vmallonee – That day has already come for many people.

There is NO WAY we will be able to afford oil to heat our home. We're looking for alternatives... I’m already anxious about winter. There is NO WAY we will be able to afford oil to heat our home.

Will there come a day when we must make a choice between buying food or gas for our cars and homes?
