Thanks for the information. I recently went through the same analysis and reached the same conclusion (before reading your article) but your thought process was more organized than mine was at the time.

At some time you may face a heating emergency — when your home heating system is inoperative for hours or days. At that critical time you must decide how to meet the emergency, either with an alternative source of heat or by seeking shelter elsewhere.
