Hello All! (posting from Buffalo,NY)
I am a newbie here and appreciate that there is a knowledgeable place I can go to find out information on stoves.
I was hoping to get a wood stove and turn down/almost off my gas, and cruise through winter ,enjoying the savings and the warmth of the wood fire.
Unfortunately, I have been quoted estimates in the range of $4,500-over $5,000 (piping,piping, piping as I can't go through the chimney)
I just don't have that kind of money.
It's basically a 2 flat house. I live in the downstairs and rent the upstairs.
My place is small- only like 1,100 square feet.
Would it still be cost effective for me to get a vented gas stove or a pellet stove and turn down my gas for the whole place.
Thus, relying on the stove to heat my apartment. Would I expect a savings? Is it worthwhile to do?
Thanks so much, my heart was set on a wood stove, so I have the blues- but am wondering if one of the other options would save me money.
