    About 98%. New windows would give us 100%.

    Right where I want to be.
    100%, but only if it doesn't get cold. :D
    We use a small DV heater when it gets below our comfort level, and that varies a little.

    I did until I moved into the current home. 1880 farm house that's almost 2500 sq ft and very little insulation. Furnace runs some but gas bills are very low. One stove on a big cut up house like this just isn't enough.

    The woodstove is the only installed heater, so 100%, but electric water heating.

    Pretty much that. We've had the furnace kick on about 4 times so far this year.
