My husband and I have been giving a lot of thought to a new heating system for the house. Our boiler has been here ever since the house was built in 1975. That is a long time for a heating system. We know that we are on borrowed time where the heating system is concerned. It seems that we are constantly vacillating from one type of heating to another. We have looked at having ductless multi-splits installed and then checked out a geothermal HVAC. We have also considered electric heat and pellet stoves. Ours is an old home with a lot of cut-ups. That means that there is one large hallway with several rooms scattered along both sides. We have a fairly open living area, which is easy to heat. When it comes to the four bedrooms, they are a different story. With them being on both sides of the house and at the end of the house, they get all kinds of weather exposure. We need to consider the different needs of every room in the house. We went to visit a friend the other day, who has recently had a pellet installed. I was surprised at how warm his house is. It is built a lot like outs, but it is even bigger. His house is very comfortable due to the pellet stove, but he also says that he is going through at least two 40 pound bags of pellets every day. It put us back to square one in our search. That means we’ll be hoping our heating system gets us through another winter.
