This is a dangerous mindset in NH/ME though, because redundancies are what will keep your house from freezing. Your primary heat source may “just work” until it doesn’t (when you need it most). Then you’re doing battle in Home Depot with others in the same situation to try to claim the last space heater so your pipes don’t freeze.

Yeah, there have been numerous times when having a fireplace and/or natural gas stove saved my family from freezing. When you live in a place that routinely gets cold enough to kill, you need multiple heat sources that don’t share a single point of failure.
