I started heating my home with an outdoor wood furnace this year. The home is old and drafty. When storms come through the area my furnace just can't keep up and the fan in the basement runs constantly. My guess is that the air temperature is lower with the OWF than with the fuel oil and the ducts can't move the proper volume of air. Does that sound right? Correcting this is a big job and I'm not up for that just now.
Another idea I have is to allow outside air into the home to reduce the pressure changes from high and low pressure systems moving through the region. How does this idea sound?
Has any one else had this type of trouble converting from fuel oil to an OWF? Were you able to resolve the issue? How did you do it?
Thanks!
