The answer is simple, install a Heat Pump. In fact everyone in North America should have a Heat Pump. From Texas to Alaska, a Heat Pump is the answer.
A Heat Pump uses electricity to transfer heat instead of creating it. On average it is 300% efficient. So for every watt of electricity you use, you get three watts of heat.
You can add a Heat Pump onto an existing Gas or Oil furnace or use it as a stand-alone system with electric backup.
If you add it to a Gas or Oil furnace it will reduce the Carbon emissions the furnace is emitting by 50% and reduce your heating costs 20%.
If you buy a Heat Pump made in North America (the best ones are made in the USA) you will be helping the economy and your local community by having a reputable HVAC Company install it.
Did I forget to mention, a Heat Pump reduces your heating costs, reduces CO2 emissions, puts money back into the local and national economies but it also Air Conditions in summer time!
So do yourself, the Country and your neighbor a favor and buy a Heat Pump.
