Just curious, I know you live in a very different climate than me, somewhere south of me, do houses down there not normally have a whole home heating system? I live in Michigan's upper peninsula, so everyone's got a furnace or baseboard heat or just some source of whole home heat. I use a woodstove and have a propane furnace that turns on once or twice early morning (lot of times it doesn't turn on at all). Unless it's below zero, I don't fill the woodstove after like 4pm because the house gets too hot. Also the woodstove is not in the basement, so the basement stays cold, which is one reason I don't mind the furnace kicking on, but also I don't believe it's all that necessary to heat the basement, I don't think it's ever gone below 50 degrees. If it's above 35 degrees, only need to load the stove once a day, it'll rise up to like 76 degrees and drop down to 60 by the next morning. (If it's in the 40s overnight might only drop down to like 65). Between 10 and 35 degrees, two fires a day. Somewhere below ten, three fires. And if it's like negative 30, just about keep a constant fire, maybe an hour between full burn down and reloading. Luckily that doesn't happen often but it does happen. I love the woodstove, it's so nice to come in from the cold and the house is warm in a way that can't be achieved with a propane furnace. It's also cheap, like 50-75 bucks a year to heat the house (I do got to get the wood myself though, the prices people advertise for wood are ridiculous, you got to know someone if you're buying wood, also if you do buy that expensive wood, you have no idea how long it's been sitting, and it might not be usable/ideal for use that winter)

@@Bazilli thanks for the deep insight of heating in Michigan.. way colder than Tennessee.. house here have central heating that use natural gas.. the older houses normally have two wall furnaces that also use natural gas.. the central units have electric starters on the thermostat, the wall furnaces has the normal floater switch.. … thanks for sharing your input
