Hey guys I have stumbled upon this site and figured it was a good place to ask this question. I bought a house that uses propane for heating and cooking. I bought the house last January, and was shocked at the prices I had to pay for propane. I understand it was quite high last year, and unfortunately I waited way to long to look into an alternative heat source for this year.
The 1200 sq ft home has a partially finished basement with a "gas fireplace i guess" . It does not currently have gas running to it, and it sits directly in front of the chimney where it is currently vented through. I really wanted to put something in its place that I could tie into my existing ductwork to get the heat to the upstairs bedrooms easier. I dont really know what my options are, but from what I can tell I need a pellet or wood burning furnace to do this properly. Is there anything I can use to take advantage of the current setup?
I really appreciate any advice or suggestions that I can get. This isnt something that I have to do right away, but would definitely like to.
