No, it's natural gas, but it has electric ignition, an electric blower (to push air through the heating ducts/vents), and an electric power vent for the exhaust.

Old pilot light systems were less affected, but they still had electric blowers. The only system I could think of that would be completely unaffected would be radiant heat.
