[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1475013, member: 26621"] When we bought our place, the only heat was a wood stove. A few years in, I ran on a deal on a used electric furnace with central air. Not a heat pump....Real juice eating electric furnace. We would still heat with wood when it got cold, but used the furnace when it was cool, say from 30 degrees and up. The "cool" months, we would rack up some $800 electric bills. (We have the most expensive electricity in the state. Google UDWI REMC for the whole scoop, including the current FBI investigation) Last year, I installed a 30K BTU propane wall heater, and haven't had a bill over $250 since. It heats the whole house just fine, but I did spring for a little 10K BTU unit for the mudroom last month, and we were sure glad to have it the past few weeks. We didn't have a single wood fire last year in the house, and our total propane usage was less than $500. [/QUOTE]
