"My home has a gas oven and stove top"

I'll see your oven and stovetop, and raise you a gas furnace and water heater (no gas clothes dryer, though).

That gas stove saved our asses during the "big Texas freeze" when the windmills froze. Had to light it with a match, but it kept us somewhat warm when the electricity failed (couldn't run the gas furnace without electric power to the blower).

I have gas heating also.

That problem in Texas came as a surprise to me also, but of
course not as big a one as it was to you.

I hear conflicting reports. Do they have that issue
addressed properly now?

When we first bought our house, it had an electric stove. I got rid of it and put in a gas stove, so as to have backup heat source in the winter (seems like every winter when there's freezing rain we loose power, from anything from a couple of hours to three days).

I also have a fireplace.
