On top of the leaky house, we're both warm-house people... We have the temp set at 77 right now. The first full month of heat will be on the gas bill this month... I'm legitimately worried about it.
Jeebus man. The furnace must run nonstop. We keep ours at 70, and it's programmed to dial down to 64 during the days nobody is home.
So those are wood burners not pellet stoves? As much as I love a good real wood fireplace, the downside is the cleanup needed as far as ash removal and stuff from the firebox. I would think there's much less of that with pellets.
We had a wood burning insert when I was a kid, and granted it didn't have a blower and I'm sure the technology is night and day nowadays, but it would be blazing downstairs/cold upstairs because the heat didn't circulate throughout the house.
I'm thankful for relatively cheap natural gas this time of year.
Yeah wood burning with blowers.....i'll man up and deal with the clean up and stacking 4 cords of wood every year to save $1500-$2000 a year. Until i'mlike 50 and don't want to deal with it anymore lol
oh, and demand they install an OAK (outside air kit) for fire intake air. It makes a world of difference in drafts. I got mine retrofitted this summer and this seasons burning has been WAY better
