We're lucky enough to live in an area I can heat with electricity. I ripped the gas furnace out after we caught it blowing flames out of a cracked heat exchanger (that had been fixed 4 months before we moved in becuase the attic was full of carbon monoxide). When two small gas leaks were discovered in the hot water heater (that even my wife of the sensitive nose could not detect because of the slow buildup), all traces of gas appliances in my house were removed before the whole thing blew up or burned down.
