How do you get your houses warm above the mason dixon line with just wood!
Ok, I live in a 1940's house with a 1970's addition. The 1940's side of the house has no insulation in the outside walls -- nice, right??
In the 1970's side we have a heatilator fireplace with 4 metal vents in the brick facade. We run it almost 24/7 just to warm the back of our house. I keep my gas furnace set on 55 and it comes on 4 or 5 times a day? We freeze to death. My laundry room / sewing room is in the furthest regions of our house and it was 49 last week! Is this heatilator thing THAT inefficient??
I live in South Carolina for crying out loud! Granted we've had record lows lately -- stop here to let the northerners chuckle. (It's been lows of 15 and highs of 32 for weeks --- that's really really unusual for us!).
Anyway, what kind of system / fireplace heats whole house and keeps it on 64! I want that! i'm sick of numb feet!
Thanks!
