Convert to Wood

Maine is 90% forested, it produces no fossil fuels and is 80% dependent upon oil for it’s heat. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that, as global supplies of oil are depleted, our wood resource will play a critical role in heating our homes. The good news is that we have sufficient resources to heat the entire state sustainably using our wood resource. Imagine the vitality we will inject into our rural communities by diverting the resources we currently spend on home heating oil into our forest communities. Not only do we have the wood, but we also have a plethora of clean burning appliances, from stoves to boilers. By using efficient modern wood burning technology, we don’t have to sacrifice our air quality to use an affordable, local resource.

Cord Wood

  • Local - literally in the back yard
  • Flexible - from your back yard or have a palate of bio-bricks
  • Affordable - Wood, properly seasoned and efficiently burned, costs the same as Oil @ $1.75 a gallon
  • Lowest Carbon Footprint - From just about zero to 1/10th oil
  • Work - Wood Stoves and wood boilers without thermal storage require tending once every 8 hours. Wood boilers with thermal storage require tending every day in the heart of winter

Pellets

  • Regional - There are 5 Pellet Mills in Maine
  • Affordable - Wood Pellets cost the same as Oil at $2.00 a gallon
  • Low Carbon Footprint - Pellets have about 1/10th the Carbon Footprint of Oil
