No fireplace. We had the addition plumbed for a freestanding gas unit, but haven't really looked. She was considering electric since we've gone solar, but I think I've convinced her gas is the way to go.
How much solar are you?

I would go gas as well.

We about 93% on Solar. 36 panels. If the kids would move out, we'd probably be at 125%.

No batteries, we're hooked up to the public system. Long story.

No. It's complicated. We are leasing the equipment from Solar City (Elon Musk/Tesla). We pay a fixed price based on our usage over the past 5 years. For us, it comes to about 1/3 of what we were paying the public utility.
