go geothermal and don't look back,i sure do not miss my wood eater.
Is it a wood-furnace only or a combo multifuel? If wood only, a new EPA replacement works pretty nice. Burns amazingly clean for a furnace. Unlike woodstoves, furnaces have been exempt from EPA regs for a long time. Now some cleaning burning ones are showing up. I got my EPA furnace from Tractor Supply and really like it. It first was for sale only in Canada for big bucks and was called the "EPA Caddy." Now in the USA and a lot cheaper. I did NOT want an outdoor furnace and installed this one instead. I also looked into geo-thermal and decided against it. The ones used around here use a lot of electricity and well water pumping.
When I bought our place there was a wood burner hooked into the boiler heat system. Previous owners took the stove. I put in an airtight coal stove. Not hooked to boiler. I do not have return ducts, but have registers in the floor. Does a nice job keeping the house comfortable. Single story ranch. For me it works out well and is much less work than burning wood. Not saying that's what you need or want, but it works for me. It keeps the house around 65-68 when it's 25-30 out. After that the fuel boiler helps out. Just an option.

In some areas folks use well water for the geothermal heat. In some cases I think they can discharge it down a second well.
