Yep, I fortunately have natural gas but just talked to a friend who just paid $2600 to top his tank off. I think he said he got locked in for the year at $5.19 otherwise it was $5.49. He's at $3,700 total so far in heating costs for the year.

I replaced my old oil furnace with a high efficiency propane unit a few years ago (no natural gas here). The new furnace and air purifier came in at about $5K with installation. I financed it through E&V and it costs about $110 a month for 5 years. I ended up saving about $300 in heating cost each month over the oil. Although oil provides more BTU's per gallon vs propane the older units are so inefficient, they can't keep up with the newer high efficiency units and they are much cleaner burning, so they don't require as much cleaning.

Thankfully, when we purchased this home 18 months ago it included a brand new Nat Gas furnace. We were amazed at how efficient it was last winter. Regardless. It's going to cost us all more this winter.

We're looking at buying a new pellet stove. We went down in October to 2 different places and gave them our name and number they said they would call us and come out and see what we got to work with. Now end of November and still no phone calls or messages. Wife is going to call a new place today and see what they can do. I'll drop the money on it get a 26% tax credit. Hopefully they'll be able to get it done before I have to order fuel again.

Look into Harmon pellet stoves.  I've got a XXV that is probably 15 yrs old.  One of the best manufacturers out there. But not cheap.

We also have a pellet stove, a Breckwell Big E and we love it, the wife wakes up and hits one button and its good all day. The new ones have timers and can be controlled via Bluetooth.

Hopefully we won't see a spike in house fires, and CO deaths due to the insanely high fuel prices.  

People, mainly elderly, are going to use space heaters, ovens, kerosene heaters,  to try and stay warm. 

That’s actually a very good point , every power outage that lasts a day or more people break out the alternative heat and light sources and catching a fire from those was certain .
