Hi to everyone as I am new here!
My home is currently heated with LP Gas and the bills are driving me to the poor house. I have lived the past 25 years of my life with wood heat in my parents home and now live in my own home and am freezing and poor because of high gas bills.
I have a flue with chimney already installed in the basement and would lilke to put a woodstove in the basement to help alleviate with heating. My furnace and all of the duct work are already currently running in the basement. My home is one level and approximately 1,000 sq. ft. and is roughly 40 ft long and 25 ft wide. The basement door is located in the central hallway and almost dead center in the middle of the house.
I was hoping that anyone could tell me about an and all options I would have.
If possible I would like to know about putting cold air returns in the existing duct work and using the furnace fan to circulate air as well as using normal size floor vents on the hot side of the house and the cold side of the house to promote passive airflow.
Any help will be great... Diagrams would be awesome too!
