Considering replacing my oil fired hot water furnace with a pellet or multi-fuel unit in the basement. Our house was built in 1952, brick, two story fairly well insulated with five separate heat zones. Our existing furnace also provides our household hot water but no storage capability. I normally will burn somewhere around 850 gal. of oil every year and we keep the house fairly cool, 63 to 68 degrees depending on the time of day. Hot water usage is high since my wife and daughter love baths and my wife also does all of her parents laundry as well as ours. Any thought on cost? Would I be better off just to add a pellet stove in the basement? Seems to be a wealth of info on this site, was looking for a few cents worth.
