How to heat this winter? Help a first time homeowner!
Bought a 1900 cabin/home on an acre in Washington and closed in June. The home had a wood heater under the old owner (who died) and the estate removed the wood stove prior to sale. When getting home insurance quotes having a wood stove tripled the annual cost.
Neighbors say to expect multiple power outages a year so now I need another way to heat my home for those instances. I am in septic and well and will have a jackery/generator for the well and lights but I don’t have a big enough generator atm to handle space heaters.
So would you buy a bigger generator or install a Rinnai (or similar) propane heater? I can’t afford to do both.
