Totally agree with Roy1361, there is no picture with these commercial lies !!!
For me gas maintenance = 0 as for pellets or free wood = 0 also, maintenance myself and sweeping also, even up on the roof (much better roped than the pros) and also possibility to make your free pellets yourself with everyone free vegetable waste (even those of my neighbors who smoke me with it, for days burning in the open air), for the price of an extra stove !!
Finally, when I see the quantity of good wood abandoned or burnt everywhere, at my neighbors, in recycling centers, in the fields and forests, there is no risk of running out of wood for pellets, but of manpower to collect it, given the low prices of other energies and the laziness of many, obese because they do not exercise enough, for what they eat !!
For the CAP, an architect and the installer scammed me, irreparable 3 years later, following love at first sight, model no longer being made, everything to change, and miracle a last model available at the rancart, and everything to change now , fluid not found !! So I refuse to snatch repeatedly, unlike most people. Heating remains well below a third of the taxes on houses, them growing faster than energy !!
So considering the price of PACs,
I might as well take the free wood lying around my house !!
PACs are complex, fragile, electronic destroyed by lightning, fluid that can leak, changing every 10 years, maintenance therefore expensive and not profitable, ultimately as expensive as gas, while
inserts or stoves are resistant to lightning, not PACs, real free booster below -5 ° C, while electric heating or other costs a max , moreover with free fuel, after drying in the sun and kept in a dry place, like pellets !!
The real scientific solution, perpetually free and without any pollution or maintenance, is the summer sun wasted by all of us, kept for heating in winter, underground, as already explained. www.dlsc.ca !!
