Electric is always nice, constant unless you have a power failure, but it is more reliable then gas. Gas is great to cook with [img]smile.gif[/img] Also make sure you have good insulation in the attic and your windows are up to spec as well as having a good storm door. Check and see if your windows are properly sealed on the outside if not go and buy so 30year outside caulking and re-seal those windows. You might not think much about it, but it pays off big time. Do you have a fire place ? If so get a nice heavy duty screen for the front of it to keep little hands away
and stock up on some fire wood, this will also help by keeping your family room warm and toasty, plus you can roast marshmellows over it and popcorn, hehe ah sweet memories
But do have the insulation checked, Im sure it was when y'all got the house, but make sure you have enough.
