Hi everyone....new to this site and i need advice. I live in a 4000sq foot home that acutally use to be a store. My husband and i bought it almost 6 years ago. We had two furnaces installed 5 years ago, and one runs each side of the house. (It's also a 2 story) We've been remodeling it since we bought it, and even with 2 furnaces it stays pretty cold. Mostly due to me turning the heat down to try and save on our bill. They are gas furnaces, and our biggest bills are in Jan, Feb and March, and run around $450 per month. From October to april i'd say we pay roughly $1700 for heat. Maybe more. Anyway, i would like to have i'm thinking a pellet stove installed with our existing furnaces and that be our main source of heat. Is that possible? Our furnaces are on our main floor in a furnace closet. On the back side of them, is a wall that on the other side is my husbands work shop. I thought the work shop would be an ideal place to put the burner and connect it to the furnaces. (We only have a crawl space so really can't put it anywhere else other than the shop) I've heard where you put it gets so hot you normally can't stand it. This would be a way to heat his shop, but not be so hot in the house we can't stand it. (He has doors in the shop that lead to outside he could open if he were in there and it got too hot) You could look at it like an attached garage, with a door leading to the house and a larger double door that leads to outside. If there were any mess it would be contained to his shop. Anyway, does this sound doable? and What size furnace would i need? Any input would be great. Also would pellet be best? Or would we be better off with a wood burner, corn burer or what? Thanks again!
