What makes the most sense when planning a new house?
I want a primary and a backup system for heating.
I will definitely have a generac in place as well.
Details below if you are willing to digest all of it and thanks for any feedback.
Background-
Just now clearing about an acre of mostly maple trees with some pine.
Building a 1600 sq/ft home on the main floor with a 600 sq/ft garden apartment in the basement.
I will have a woodshop in the basement about 250 sq/ft.
It is sloped so both floors will be ground level.
Currently,
The heat pump (electricity) is the cheapest
Propane varies
The woodstove is pretty expensive ($20k for boiler, splitter, and all that goes to make it happen) guessing 5 cords/year in NC mountains.
I want a primary and a backup system for both levels.
Whew- thanks for reading.
