We use a natural gas central unit for our primary heat source and a fireplace insert for our comfort in the living area.

My firewood stash needed replenishing today and since my recovery from my total knee replacement surgery is progressing nicely I tackled the deed myself.

No need for heat here today. It's 60 here.. I'm sure that will change shortly. Very strange weather. Must be 'Global Warming'....:eek:

Yes, we thank you. Although I'm a little worried about what "medium size" might be. And I was actually waiting for a slap from the moderators, not you.

I imagine most of those large pictures are posted by someone who doesn't realize how big the come out. I just go on past to to the next post instead of scrolling to see what it is!

The bad thing is that on a laptop/desk top, they blow the entire page of 10 replies. It's very distracting.

Thanks for understanding. ;)

A 'smart' forum server would read the picture file info and resize as required to say 640x480 or 800x600, not a lot of code needed to do that.

I heat my 1,800 sq ft 2-story home exclusively with the heat pump when above about 40 degrees. When below 40 outside, the thermostat goes down to 59 which it maintains when I'm away, when I'm there I heat by wood stove.

The original Trane heat pump is now 17 years old so probably due to fail pretty soon. In spite of fracking and gas wells all around there's no natural gas available which seems crazy. I'm trying to decide whether it'll be worth it to change to propane or just replace it with another heat pump? Mine does ok and I'm sure they must be even better now. I know the little mini-split in my work shop sure works well.

I just installed heat pumps, and they have worked well so far down to 12F, they've only been in since October. I have one big compressor and three blower units of different types that supply heat to most of my main floor. Not sure total sq ft but it is a small, old, poorly insulated house. It was a granary first, then the hired man's house, and about 50 years ago completely remodeled. Hand hewn beams. I still have and use a propane fired boiler that runs circulating hot water to baseboard fins as backup. To offset the extra electrical use of the pumps, am in the middle of installing an array of solar panels in the back pasture. It remains to be seen if I have enough panels to get net zero with the power company. It should help to decrease propane usage a lot. My boiler currently still runs domestic hot water, and I need to switch off the heat pumps in case of power failure, my generator can't handle that kind of current draw. Unless you go off the grid entirely, you can't access your own solar generated electricity in the daytime during a power failure. Seems like there should be a workaround for that problem, but one thing at a time.
