My 'electric' bills were $100.oo+/- $20.oo twenty years ago. Now they are $196.oo/month. I heat with wood almost exclusively and when the wood stove upstairs in the main part of the house goes out, then the oil furnace kicks in. I also have a wood stove in the basement. One winter I tried heating totally with the oil furnace.....$3,000.oo later I never tried that again. Firewood costs me $2,000.oo/season, cut, split and delivered. If I was 30 years younger, then would go with a heat pump and probably see a return on my investment, eh?

Frequent visitor to...
...the Great White North and I kind of picked up on the lingo a bit.
I paid my first visit to your country before I was even born and I've been back many times since.   I've always enjoyed my brief stays.I take it your power supplier generates via Agua and gravity. Mine comes from fission just over a neighboring ridge.  Fuel oil boiler? Heaven forbid!

Hydro One uses nuclear energy, now. The 'fuel oil' boiler is just a forced air hot air furnace.
during the times that we stupid Ontarions don't use enough electricity to suit Hydro One, they (HO) give it away to Michigan and New York states and we Ontarions pay through the nose for it. Win, win for the hydro company. Lose, lose for the rest of us.

My pop was a truck driver and he did like to party in his younger days. I, myself have partied in Alberta with the Moose Army. I like their medium tents. Warm and cozy they were. Not like that cold and leaky canvas crap we were issued.

I ran out of Medicine Hat, Alberta from 1977-79. A great time was had by all

Plus, we have baseboard electric heat on the main floor. The coal stoker only supplements that heat by warming the basement and the floors. The coal stove operates off a thermostat placed @ half way up the basement steps, controlling the feed and the convection fans according to temperature. It actually heats the house well enough that the electrics rarely come on. Towards the end of January I ran out of coal and the wife waited a few days before calling the supplier and we had to run the electrics for a couple of weeks during that polar vortex.
