[RE-wrenches] Forced air Furnace

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

I think one can find fault with anything. One thing about Empire is that
is does not require AC and frankly most people want heat offgrid from many
sources. Just a way to get legal for a certificate of occupancy and it was
what the OP was looking for. 

The blend of a wood stove, mini-split heat
pump, and a propane heater are probably as offgrid as it gets these days.


We love quiet also and have for 26 years here.

 Drake, look at home depot for the Empire brand of small wall
furnaces. They use zero power (old style thermo like a water heater) and
can be legal as primary source of heat for building code. They vent out a
wall and are very easy. Many of my clients use them to get legal and then
use wood heating. Good luck!

 Hello Wrenches,

What is the best choice for a
propane, forced air furnace for an off grid house? We would prefer one that
doesn't have a phantom load, although the transformer for the thermostat
may not be avoidable. Low blower current would be preferable. The furnace
AC will be powered by a Magnum 4448 PAE.

Thank you,

Drake
