This Is How You Heat Your HOUSE Without a Furnace (Prepare for Winter)

#HeatWithoutFurnace #homeheating #heatpump #woodstove #winterprep #energysavings #hvactips $4,500 is the national average for a new gas furnace, and the high quotes run past ten thousand. But a furnace is only one way to heat a house, and for a lot of homes it is no longer the cheapest one. In this video I walk through ten ways to heat a house without a furnace, starting with the ones that cost nothing (sealing the leaks, running the winter sun, flipping the ceiling fans, heating the person instead of the rooms), through the one good space heater used the right way, the fireplace that is quietly costing you heat, pellet and wood stoves, and ending with the machine that genuinely replaces a furnace: the cold climate heat pump. Real prices, real running costs, and the one safety warning that matters more than all of it.
