My home is heated using Oil and forced hot water. Because of the price of oil these days, and the fact that the price is going to keep going up, we have decided to heat our home during the daytime hours with our wood stove. Not only has it been very effective, but it costs next to nothing and it keep our home warmer than our radiators do. Our wood stove is located in our living room where we are the majority of the time, so we stay nice and toasty all day long.
