Not a fan of gas heat!

I love living in the desert and enjoy not having to worry about having a furnace. I say this because we do not have a working furnace in here but if we did get anything it would have to be one of those electric fireplaces that way it does not affect my gas bill anymore than it needs to. I am a penny pincher and feel the need to save on my utilities as much as I can. I also think too that it would make this place look so much nicer having a fireplace in it.
