Hello All
Currently I have a 1/2 finished basement and the house is approx 1500 square feet
approx center of the house I have a double flue chimney. In the laundry room a newmac wood oil furnace(35 years old) and in the rec room on the other side of the Landry room a wood stove(OldTimer)
Our primary heat source is wood and I have bee burning about 8 cord a year and haven't filled the oil tank in 4 years.
I really want to have a more efficient wood burner for the house. We have been using the wood stove the last 2 years with a thermostat connected to the furnace fan. Reason for this is we find the furnace is just too hot when burning wood and then cold at like 3am. Burn times bite in the furnace.
What should I do. Was thinking about just buying a new wood stove and leave everything else but looking for some suggestions here.
I live in Canada, Ontario so I think there are some combination furnace restrictions but not sure
