I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a combination oil/wood-fired
hot air furnace and have been getting conflicting opinions locally. I'm in
CT and a few plumbers I spoke with say that the only time they deal with
combination furnaces, the homeowner is asking them to take them out. The
various combination furnace manufacturer's brochures say that they are the
best thing since french bread. Can someone who has one of these or installed
one of these provide me with some feedback (good or bad?)
