Go to propane- or if you can, Natural gas. I went from wood to propane several years ago & not only is more comfortable, more easily regulated, nearly zero maintenance, it also saved me money over buying wood every year up until this past year. [now wood has caught up & propane has gone down so propane is probably cheaper per delivered BTU again] My brother went from wood to pellets- and went back in 2 yrs because the supply of pellets was so unreliable. Brother-in-law has two of the damn things in his house. They are noisy, expensive, and break down frequently- I think he buys a hopper motor for one or the other every year. Ecoteck boast of quietness but look like they would cost a Georgia fortune; maybe not; no prices. I had hot air oil heat before and can't stand the noise. Propane ventless- 100% efficient- works when the electricity goes off- completely silent. *Size* to the space being heated & buy a CO & explosive gas alarm, and they are as safe as your home furnace. what bull****. No combustion process is 100% efficient and no combustion process without a means of bringing the exhaust outside is safe. |
