Natural Home Heating

The Natural Home Heating book is the first comprehensive guide to heating your home with renewable energy sources. Greg Pahl offers a well-organized, easy-to-understand tour of all available home-heating options, including traditional oil and gas furnaces, wood stoves and masonry heaters, active and passive solar systems, and heat pumps. Included is everything you need to know about the fuels, systems, technologies, costs, and advantages and disadvantages of each option. Pahl teaches homeowners how to retrofit existing heating systems, choose renewable replacements, or design a new house that can be heated comfortably with minimal environmental and financial impact.

Learn how to burn environmentally friendly bio-diesel, not just in your car, but in your furnace; how a ground-source heat pump works and why it can achieve 400% heating efficiency; what it takes to make burning wood truly sustainable. Natural Home Heating explains all these details and more, making it unique in the marketplace.

Greg Pahl has been involved in environmental issues for more than 20 years. He has written about wind power, solar energy, electric cars, sustainable forestry management and home building materials.
