Darryl,
Not terribly big ~1600 ft2 or 150 m2. The thing is that it was
built in 1964. Single story, brick veneer, uninsulated walls and
floors. Attic is blown insulation sometime in the 80's.
windows are original with 'storm' windows outside.
The best feature is the deciduous trees on the E

Well, I live on the left coast, which is considerably milder than
Ottawa, but my family of four only spent about $700 on natural gas
last winter. Insulation, weatherstripping and good windows are key.

Darryl, I'm STUNNED!!! Your house must be wrapped in R60. Congratulations
for your efficient heating! Last January I paid $500 for natural gas
heating FOR THAT MONTH alone. And yah, we did upgrade the insulation
through that GreenSaver programme. That was the improved cost. Dang.
Yup, I'm lo

The most sensible solution for sustainable home heating is Geothermal Heat.

I can't speak for size, but I do know that homes in the south are
typically built without any insulation. When gas prices were low,
this was seen as an extra construction expense that was only justified
in the north... Even many of the ones here in Colorado from the 60's
and 70's had minimal insu

DO NOT ask *any* questions about anythng but "gun-style" furnaces - Becket
Riello and so on. If you ask
about BD in a Kerosun or anything not strictly related to furnaces, they'll rip
you head off.
Good luck!

I believe that there are number of people on this list who have used
biodiesel in furnaces designed for heating oil. Might be something in
the archives from people who have done this.
