You should contact a good HVAC person to find out what your options are. So much has to do with the house, where they can put the unit, what utilities are available to you, and what other upgrades (electric, etc) might need to be done to support it. And, act fast.. it seems this year's gonna be a cold one! You don't even have a fireplace? That seems so strange to me - that used to be the only way we heated homes. If all options are easily available and comfortably affordable, I prefer natural gas. But, seriously, all options are not equal and you need to have someone evaluate your home.
