When we moved in, we only had a woodstove

When we moved into the house that we live in now, we only had a wood stove as the heating system.

  • It wasn’t something that really worried me when we first moved in several years ago because at that point I just didn’t realize how cold the temperatures could get around here during the winter.

I thought that I would be able to live with just a wood stove with no problem at all. And honestly, a wood burning stove is a great heating source if you don’t mind having to constantly go outside to get more wood for the fire. That’s been the problem for me, and since I am basically just lazy in the winter, I wanted a different heating source than just the wood stove. I never knew how fast a wood stove would gobble up and consume firewood during the cold winter months. Now I know, though. It’s frustrating to be warm and cozy and then have to go out to get more wood in the freezing cold temperatures during the night. I was over it. We lived with it that way for a couple of years and then last year I gave up. I decided that we needed to get a high efficiency heating system for the house because we needed something other than the wood stove as a heating system. Of course, we kept the wood stove too. Around here, you always need a backup for the heating system whenever it’s the winter. In this climate, you just never know what’s going to happen.
