I am trying to help a recent widow. Her husband operated a Tarm OT 50, type B, woodburner. It is Propane, wood, electric. Does anyone have experience with the electric operation? She is looking at new boilers as she is not able to keep up with the wood supply now that her hisband is gone. I thought as long as the electric BTU output is sufficient to heat her house the efficiency on electric would be 100% and she would not have to buy a new boiler but just have to set up the boiler for off peack operation. We tend to think the efficiency of the propane fueled option would be low and cost prohibitive at todays fuel cost.
Thans for any help!
