Heating options

It's time to go shopping. Now, you won't see me carrying any European handbags soon, but I am excited about the prospects of learning a few things. I need some new heating systems. At least, I think I do. I want to buy a new furnace for my Arlington property to increase the efficiency of the furnace and hopefully save some money in the long-run on my gas bills.

Now, with the Arlington properly, there aren't that many options for me. I can go with a mid-efficiency or high-efficiency gas furnace. You're thinking, big woop. The interesting savings will come from my decision regarding the fringewood property.

At Fringewood, it is heated using electricity. It's probably the most expensive form of heating, so I want to use the natural gas that is available to me. I have some more options here. I can go with a gas fireplace which will reduce the dependency on the electric baseboards, or I can try to see how much it would cost to convert the whole system to gas heated. There are probably not a lot of savings to be had on such a huge cost outlay, but it may make the property sellable in the future.

Anyways, I thought I would mention this stuff as I have not written lately. I'm still trying to wheel and deal, but it gets hard when I've been at the office so much lately. 5 more days!!!
