People of Ontario, what do you use to heat your home?

Natural gas? Heating oil?

Natural gas here

Yep. Was built into the subdivision in the 90s. Everything is natural gas from the stove to the heater to the BBQ outside.

Electricity (heat pump)

How does it hold up on the 2 or 3 really cold days we have? Is there auxiliary electric heat?

It's set to turn off at -10 or below at which point the natural gas backup kicks in. Apparently it can still work down to -20, but it's less efficient than the gas furnace at that point.

And I'm not sure how it holds up, this will be the first winter with it!

Propane for us. Natural gas is just a bit too far away to get a connection.

Natural gas for building heat and a tankless water heater, townhouse was built ~2010.
