In my new house I use electric water heater to supplement my solar collectors because I got a Godfather offer on it from my elec coop, otherwise I would have used propane. Three solar collector plates can make a lot of hot water.

The first time each year when you fire up the heat, it will take an inordinate amount of energy to get the slab warm, so don't think your second energy bill will be like your first.

You say the location does not have gas, can't you put a 100 lb. propane bottle in? Better yet, a 500 gal tank? Or, like a lotta these guys do, rig a boiler that burns waste oil or wood, corn or Rosie O'Donnell reruns.

Best advice is Insulate First. Even gluing up 1" foam panels or just fiberglass batts makes a big difference.
