There are countless home heating methods, but which one is right for you? Today I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various heating methods from Wood and Oil to Solar and Geothermal. There is something for everyone!!
The Benefits of Propane
Although the
price of propane does rise and fall with the seasons, so the gas does
tend to be pricier during the bitter winter months, the high efficiency
of propane stoves means you end up spending less in the long run than
sticking with a poorly working wood burning fireplace or electric heat.
Furthermore, propane is a great deal safer than traditional heating
fuels like gasoline or kerosene, so the safety of your family and home
are taken into consideration.Propane suppliers in Nova Scotia include:

Wood Stoves for Home Heating
In times gone by, friends and family would gather around wood stoves
in homes and stores to warm the heart and soul through good company and
heat. Today, wood burning stoves are excellent ways to offset heating
costs while adding a fantastic charm to any room. Whether you choose to
install a stove in a family room, kitchen, dining room, or bedroom, the
entire household will enjoy the beauty and warmth provided by a quality
stove. In addition to using renewable resources — wood — to provide
heat instead of non-renewable fuels like liquefied propane gas or
natural gas, the physical beauty of wood burning in a controlled area is
remarkable.Firewood suppliers in Nova Scotia include:
