One of the most efficient ways to minimize your heating billis to switch your existing oil, propane or natural gas to aneffective low cost coal fired furnace or boiler.

BOILERS & FURNACES

FIREPLACE INSERTSIf you have an older fireplace it may have anefficiency rating of just 5-10% due to the opencombustion design that allows the heated roomair to be drawn into the fire, wasting energy andcooling down the house. A fireplace insert is aninsulated, sealed system with a high efficiencythat translates into more heat output in yourhouse to help save money.
