There is a quality of heat, in its impact on daily living. It sometimes has a different distribution system and can impact the cleanliness of the air you breath. In my first home I had oil heat with gravity distribution. It was very quiet, but there was always what seemed to be almost an oily film that would accumulate on things that sat for a long time, you know like top shelf items. In my other home I had natural gas and it was not noticeable at all. It was distributed with a very quiet, almost soothing fan and I noticed no dust or odor. In the my current apartment I have baseboard electric heat. I find it is hard to keep a consistently comfortable temp, and I notice that the walls turn a bit gray right near the source. With natural gas you also would have the option of flame cooking. If you could afford it you could look into a source that could generate some of your own to sell back. Unfortunately though as of right now it would take a long time to earn back you investment.
