How to heat

Insulation will always be your cheapest fuel source.

Example. A lady in a 1800 sq house spent 300 a month on heat, another in an almost 4000 sq ft house about 100, biggest diff was when the houses were built. 300 =1960s, 100 = 2000. Difference is massive amounts of insulation In 2000

This is based on real numbers personally known to me.
It sure is, that's why I super insulated my house because I live in Alaska and it's paid big dividends. But for a guy in North Carolina he's not going to need much at all to keep some heat in. Anything above that is a waste of money. Its location dependent.
