Which is cheaper, Gas or Electric?
I've got about 5 space heaters of various types in my house, but I
rarely turn them on because it seems like the Gas furnace is keeping up
well.

My furnace is about 3 years old, and is marked with an energy guide
sticker that says it's not all that efficient, though I'm not sure if
that's because the air conditioning uses a bunch.

In my area gas heat is lower in cost. For most folks once you have
gas heat, nothing else is better! A gas furnace costs more up front,
but saves in the long run. I might choose electric if I planned on
selling the house soon.
