Nice Cookies

I’m house hunting and me and my other two roommates have stumbled upon a really nice house. It is exactly what we are looking for but it has gas logs instead of using electricity. I didn’t know how big of a difference this would make. I’ve heard from a few people that gas is much more expensive. Any advice?
Natural Gas is normally CHEAPER the electricity per BTU of heating.
Wait. Gas logs are in fireplaces. Are you saying you’re going to use a single gas-log fireplace to heat the house? THAT will cost you way more than electricity any day. Even with a blower, that will not work.

Hello everyone on OT. I would like to apologize if this topic has been discussed. I cannot search so I can’t search for this topic.

I’m looking to get a portable air conditioner for my apartment. I can’t seem to find any details on google.com. I was wondering how easy the setup was since you have to vent the hose through the window. Also, how much electricity it uses? I found a few with a EER rating of 9.0 (is that any good)? Thanks for looking!
cant get a window unit? i hear the portable units dont work so well
