Improving your home with alternative
energy heating will benefit you in 3 ways:
1. Save you thousands of dollars in heating
and energy costs for years to come.
2. Improve the value of your home.
3. Peace of mind from more predictable fuel
and energy costs.
The key to making a successful transition
from fossil fuels to renewable energy
sources is determining which alternative
"fuel" is most abundant where you live, and
therefore the cheapest.

The term alternative fuel describes a wide range of products including wood pellets, corn,
wheat, pelletized straw and other biomass materials, as well as sunshine, wind, and water
for geothermal.
Although some alternative energy systems like geothermal are far more expensive than a
pellet stove for example, the final cost has been substantially reduced by more liberal Energy
Tax Credits and utility rebates. The new schedule of tax credits covers everything from doors
and windows to small wind systems; so don't miss out.
One home heating alternative generating a lot of interest and controversy these days is the
outdoor furnace. They can be configured to burn wood, corn, or wood pellets and are capable
of heating multiple buildings. Many of the latest models now conform to EPA standards and
feature efficient, clean burning fire boxes that substantially reduce annoying smoke and
emissions produced by older models.
Less controversial, but no less popular are indoor biomass furnaces and boilers. They can be
installed as a stand alone unit to replace your current furnace or as an add-on to supplement
your existing system. The indoor boilers are ideally suited for radiant hydronic baseboard or
in-floor heat.
Although some heating and energy systems won't totally eliminate your dependence on
conventional fuels, you should experience an immediate 30%-70% reduction in home heating
or energy costs and insulate yourself to a greater degree from fuel cost inflation for years to
come.
Don't get lulled into complacency by this temporary break from fuel price madness. When the
world economy heats up again, as it's destined to do, commodity prices - especially crude oil -
will resume their upward march. So if you have some spare cash, this is an opportune time to
get a good deal on a wood stove, pellet stove, or fireplace insert.
If you're uncertain about how to proceed, take advantage of the hundreds of pages of useful,
easy to understand information on this site to help you make the transition when the time
comes.
Just like any other well designed major home improvement, an alternate heating or energy
system will add value to your home. The average is $10 in added home value for every $1 in
annual energy savings.
