I know people with log burners who spend around $500 over the 3 winter months on wood, so nearly twice as expensive. We don't run our Heap pump 24/7 like some however, and log burners are run longer and more cosey. Its a tricky comparison but Heat pumps are def cheaper unless you have access to cheap wood. |
