Cozy warm in the winter time

Our bill for the winter is something that we are always on a watch for. It seems like the bill would get so high in the winter. So my husband put in a stove and closed the fireplace except where the pipe goes out.

He recently did a job in the mountains and saw heating differently. He said that the heat comes up thru the floors. He went on to explain that most mountain homes are going to this type of heating.

He said they still have a fireplace, and even a stove. But was told that the floor heating was so much more efficient and cost effective that it is the way all homes are being built not only in the mountains but in the city.

The real negative about a stove is the smoke, which we have down to very little, but the ashes that are left around the stove every time you put wood in or clean out the ashes. The other is you can’t get a consistent temperature. Sometimes it gets real hot in one room, and cool in the next. The thing about floor heat is you can be cozy warm in the winter time no matter what part of the house you’re in.
