With the ever increasing costs of oil, propane and electricity it is not surprising that hard pressed home and business owners will investigate alternative heating and alternative power generation methods. There are many methods of generating alternative heat and power available to today’s homeowner. The geographical location of the house and the most commonly available local fuels will usually decide the most suitable type of alternative heating to consider deploying in a home.

Alternative heating can dramatically reduce domestic fuel bills substantially and in some cases can eliminate bills completely. Alternative heating can also enhance the resale value of your home sometimes by many times the annual fuel bill saving. Some alternative heating methods are carbon neutral and therefore benefit the environment in adition to reducing your costs. Installing alternate heating systems to your home can reduce your exposure to inflationary pressures and sky rocketing fuel prices.

Other forms of alternative heating often depend on burning a fuel supply such as corn, wood or wood pellets in corn burning stoves or wood burning stoves. It is worth considering that the price of corn is likely to be more volatile than wood as it is a world commodity. World market prices for corn per bushel have varied between $2.50 and $7 in recent years. The price of corn in each locality is influenced by world commodity price and local supply. Wood pellet prices are usually a little more static. Where both fuels are commonly available it is probably a good idea to choose a dual fuel burner able to burn both wood and corn.

It is important to do some basic research before choosing an alternative heating method for your home and it could be worthwhile consulting local professional experts. As with all home improvements a well designed and installed system can add substantial value to your home on resale.
