[Greenbuilding] Heating Options

[Kathy Cochran]

Please look into the Fujitsu Mini-split systems.  They are excellent for
zone heating - and they also do air conditioning, which you may not need in
upstate NY.  When I lived in Tarrytown, NY, I don't think I knew the meaning
of the word "air-conditioning!"  You will be very happy with them.  I would
write more, but I am typing with 1 finger because I nearly chopped off a
finger with an axe today splitting kindling.  My Fujitsu is now running
again.  Thank God for it.  It is my backup.

 

Good luck,

I'd like to pose the following question to the group:

Whereas I am renovating a home from a vacant shell condition in which it is
currently inhabitable;
Whereas I desire a Finnish Masonry ContraFlow Stove as the eventual primary
heating source of my home;
whereas I likely won't have the time to have one installed before the next
heating season at which time I desire to be living in this house;
As well as I likely won't have the funds to install one immediately as I
will need some extra cash to install a foundation block of concrete below
where the heater will be positioned;

What would be a good heating system that:
Doesn't rely on ductwork
Would be able to heat by zone or room (it would just be me living in the
home at first)
Would function as a backup/secondary source once the Masonry stove was in
place
