Just a curious question. WE moved in to this house and it had steam heat.
Radiators in all the rooms. I removed them and installed Central heat and air
95%gas condensing furnaces. Cheaper to heat:)

Nothing but woodstove for 25 years
gas furnaces at both the house and the shop..but I usually use the jotul wood stove during the day at home
gas though the price has been shooting up quite a bit.... I also use gas stove, hot water heater, and dryer....
Natural gas here, and unfortunately not the kind that I produce on a daily basis, or I'd be saving $$$.
Have you heard about HARDY BOILER?? It goes outside and you run lines to a coil to put in ductwork for Heat for house, it also has water heater built inQuote:

We don't really need a lot of heating here, I do have gas piped in, but only for hot water at the moment, the rest is blanked off (decrepit old wall furnace and oven when I got house, since removed). There's a reverse-cycle air conditioner in the living area if required, but I just leave a thermostat controlled electric column heater running in my bedroom to keep it a few degrees warmer than otherwise would be.
When it is cold I am happy. but when its is freezing (which happens maybe 3-10 days on a year) I am using airconditioner.
:cool:
I use a wood pellet stove. It saves me a ton over what I used to pay for oil.
Some places around here are banning them because they smolder wood rather than burn it and they produce a lot of smoke.Quote:

This is an off the wall for you Richard. LOL
A dumb blonde called up her druggist and asked him what she
could do for her boyfriend's dandruff. The druggist recommended
Head & Shoulders. She called back a week later and asked, "How do
you give someone shoulders?"
