Heating Source

[Guest guest]

Stay away from kerosene - it is dirty and I'm fairly positive it gave me

multiple chemical sensitivities.

Is there a way to get something electric?

want gas, I'm afraid of it so it would have to be kerosene, wood or pellet,

which of the three would make for the cleanest air in your home.

We're living on a fixed income. It would be nice to heat with electric but if

the

electric would go out we would have no heat.

I'd rather not go with kerosene because of the odor.

>Hi, Barbara.. I know what you mean about fixed income. We just recently

retired; quite a change. Hmmmm, you have a problem. Wood heat is cheap for

sure (warms you 3 times they say, once when you cut it, again when you stack it

& lastly when you burn it...lol). Seems to me if you were able to filter your

air of the resultant smoke or exhaust the smoke w/o losing the heat, that would

do the trick. Maybe a tiny exhaust fan for those times when it is 'smoking' and

a couple of big floor air cleaners to run most of the time & remove smoke

particulates?? Supposedly, federal money is out there for home improvements

that make a 'green' impact; insulation, winterizing, heat pumps?? Might be

something for you to look into. We will keep thinking. Good luck... Lola
