Hi everyone, Long shot given the specifics, but I’m looking for a bit of advice. I live in an 19th century building and we still use an oil stove for heating. Works great but with heating oil prices going up every year, it’s not sustainable in the long run. Also counting that while I can maintain and repair them myself, getting parts or a replacement stove will not become easier. The house is a two storey building, so installing a regular central heating with a heat pump with radiators and running all the pipes would be prohibitively expensive. What I’m inching towards is either Wood pellet stove. Uses the already existing chimney and electricity outlet. Literally a remove and replace operation. Inconvenient: You have to get the pellets upstairs and autonomy is quite limited. Multi-split air-air heat pump with one big outside unit and multiple inside units in the various rooms. Inconvenient: You have to run the refrigerant pipe through the apartment, but at least it’s one white plastic thing. Of course with the installation of solar panels on the roof. Has someone installed such heating and would like to share about it? submitted by /u/Ancient-Street-3318
