       For those with forced air furnaces.    Mine runs on natural gas and electric. When the power goes out you dont have heat even though the natural gas is available.   A 60 dollar switch and my dads expertise got me a safe bypass switch (took 15 miinutes to install). Without power i switch to emergency and connect an extention cord to a generator and, boom, I have heat when noone else does. Then i lend my portable heaters to my neighbors and get free alcohol in return.   I also have a power converter that i can run off my vehicle battery that can power the furnace in place of a generator.   A full tank plus 5 gal in my generator will provide many days of comfortable heat if i only run it intermittenly.   A full tank of feul in my truck (32 gallons) would provide weeks of heat running it intermittenly.
