PROPANE or Wood?

When you’re deciding between propane and wood, what do you need to consider?

• Cost. Heating your home with wood starts with the cost of the stove or furnace. This can range from $1,500 to $5,000, or higher. Wood delivery and stacking fees may also apply.
• Safety. From ongoing maintenance to issues with installation, the increased risk of fire with the use of pellet stoves, wood stoves or outdoor wood furnaces is worth considering.
• Convenience. With a propane stove, all you need to do is touch a button or flip a switch for heat on the spot. Think about all the time you would have spent hauling wood to your stove or furnace—not to mention cleaning out the ash afterward.

Produced by burning coal, electricity leads to pollution. Burning wood also raises concerns about air pollution because of higher emissions than those produced by heating with fuel oil or gas.
