Heating and cooling a house with minimal exposures to EMF and noxious fumes is a challenge.  This article covers a number of methods that have been employed successfully.

 

The Problem with Gas Heat

 

Propane and natural gas are used in many households for heating and cooking.  In cities, natural gas is normally piped directly into each house.  Propane is used more in rural areas, where it is delivered to a tank by a truck.  Propane is also used from portable tanks in barbecue grills and in travel trailers.  In remote areas without electricity, propane may be used for lighting.
