Been reading for a year now, Decided to join. Been heating with wood nearly 30 yrs now & trying to figure out why I dont install geothermal. When compared to OWB installed at $10,000- geo at $15,000 both provide domestic hot water, both eliminate fire ,& mess inside, geo gives AC & burns no wood. OWB gives no AC & burns about 10 cord a year. Thats $1,000 worth around here that could be sold & (maybe buy a new saw). Any thoughts? Is there any hope?
