Guys ,i found another way to chew into my retirement savings, to the Tune of 9500 smakers,. And i am Not retired Yet ,,Just tell if i am getting aGOOd Deal ?Ok. My house is about 2200 + sq ft and another 450sq ft upstairs that heats naturally from the 1st floor .there is a 1200 sqft storage basement that will host the furnace and ducting and will not require heating other than a service duct in extreme cold like we just went thru in Louisville area ,.95% effeciency propane gas furnace,.80,000BTU,, 3 ton coil and York 3 ton A/C unit 14 seer (define the term ) 10 yr warranty on equipment ,. very little of the current woodfurnace ducting will be used if any.. no ducting to the upstairs ,.. it heats well naturally ,, But Cooling is another matter in the 90s plus summer heat,..I get good croos air ventilation opening windows at nite up there But AS the Summerwears On, it does more harm than good because of our HUMID ohio Valley ,. So ,perhaps i will bring a duct up thu the girls closet. like i always thought i would do ,. He will be able to install my hot water loop in the Gas furnace and then we can continue to use the water pipes and radiators and circulater from my outside water furnace that is out of service this winter,. i will be able to close off the valves and heat the loop with gas easily ... We have broke records here 12 days below freezingSTRAIGHT ,,.Never did that in our area before ,,,. Consequently I Have burned more woodin 2 weeks than i would in a month ,. thats more than i can cut and more than i careto do , with everything else i am trying to do with my rebounding health ,. i hate to spend the $$$$,but i know if i broke aleg My Sara would have to move in someone like US to fire the furnace or MOVE out ,, i can further justify this expenzenecaose i know both my a/c unit and my wood furnace are well over 25 yrs old ,the wood furnace dates to 1979 and shows it ,. If I were gone and my children sol.d this home,,. as beautiful as it is ,, with wood heat as the primary heat ,it will hamper the value .. . .
