Natural Gas,,,no matter where you live. Over the long term it is not only efficient in effect, but cost efficient in affect.

there is a newer type of heat source a lot of the rural areas in Michigan, US are starting to use. the buy a corncob stove (not like the pipe, its a stove made specifically for burning corn as fuel) you can get a stove pretty cheap, but it could get expensive of you have to have one shipped. anyway, you burn ears of corn to heat your house. locally, the stove costs from $100 to $350 and usually takes a bushel of corn/ week for a 2500 square foot house. very cheap and very efficient

yes good question, there are many efficient electric heaters on the market with built in stat to maintain a temp, then shut off, check all windows and door frames for air penetration, insulate your attic if not already, and check on the ceramic element electric heaters on the market. i cut my bill in half!
