Re: Can I add on wood heat? We did!
Best move we’ve made.
See my prior post.
The they just hooked the Boiler furnace to run through the gas frunace heat exchanger. Best of both worlds. Cheap heat all winter but if you want to go away for more than say 3 days, you’ve got the gas back-up or early spring or fall when it just isn’t worth firing up the “big” boy.
How does the heat physically get into the duct system? Or does the stove just radiate heat up from the basement through the flooring? My sub-flooring is actually insulated. I would have to put a woodstove in the basement where the propane burning furnace is along with the ductwork. I have only 2 small basement windows about maybe 18 inches wide by maybe 10 inches high. Can the piping get out through that? Would I have to add a chimney also? It would have to go up 2 stories.
