Hi vibroluxer
A furnace is off the menu.
If we replace one, we have to replace both and exhume both tanks.
Can't put tanks on pre cast pads.
Have to pour concrete.
Although it can be done in the winter, the cost would be staggering.
So....best we can do is upgrade the wood stove next door.
The estimate with a stove that is very good but I feel is a tad small to cary the load is $6500.00, and that's just an estimate.
We are in for our first real cold snap of the season in a couple days.
New stove won't be installed until the 20th.
Today is the first day I saw daylight since the tenant went away for the holidays. 13 days of going to bed and getting up in the dark.
Anyway.....we will get through this, as to how....hmmmm.
cheers

I never thought about what was used up north for heating. Oil must be underground because it would congeal otherwise. No gas pipelines there, so propane, but that's costlier than oil. Electricity must be really expensive. So wood, but what kind is being burned? I assume there aren't local hardwoods, just conifers, but they're not as efficient. Pellets?

Pretty much all spruce up here.
There are three flavors....fire kill, beetle kill, and standing dead.
