I am purchasing a log home with a central boiler and the guy just cuts wood as he needs it. I am looking to find out about how much wood a year I will need so I can get cutting as soon as I move in next month. I didnt get the model # but I remmeber him telling me you could fit about a 40inch log in the bottom.
Info I know
40ish inch log in the bottom
boiler is about 30ft from the house garage is about 10 feet on the other side of the house
1500sq ft main floor hot water baseboard whole house and radiant heat in select rooms
1500sq ft unfinished basement
loft area and 1 room upstairs aprox 700sq ft total upstairs
The heat also runs out to the garage which is roughly 30x40. He only uses the heat when he works out there and I plan to do the same
I know that i cant get an exact number unless you know all the factors like wood quality ect but I am just trying to get an idea.
also does a programable thermostat help with wood consumption like it does with natural gas?
Thanks ahead of time!
