Over the years there has always been a debate about what the best fuel for residential heating is. As a professional provider of energy-efficient systems, there is no simple answer to that question. Having a fuel-neutral professional help in making this evaluation can be a big help.
Many factors go into making an educated decision on the best fuel for your particular situation. They include the following:
- The availability and storage of the fuel: you simply may not have access to natural gas or coal!
- The quality of life issues: do you really want to cut and pile wood?
- The cost per actual heat output, which is a relatively complicated question by itself. A gallon of oil versus a gallon of propane versus a therm of natural versus a chord of wood versus a bag of pellets versus a kilowatt of electricity can be compared but not without some specific conversion facts, focused attention and a calculator.
- The cost of conversion from the mechanical systems most of us have in place already.
- The specific construction characteristics of your home.
- Specific personal interests in participating in making the world a safer and greener place.
There are many other pieces to this puzzle but the bottom line is that educating yourself and professional guidance can go a long way toward figuring out what is truly best for you and your family.
