Mud and Paul (and Andres) are keen to make an infographic about home heat choices.  Across the top will be types of heat.  And down the left side will be attributes/metrics.  With each metric will be a link to a thread that will act as a source for that row of information in the infographic.  Or, hopefully, a bit of a bibliography.  This thread is one of those threads.

Paul thinks that this work is so very critically important that he wanted to see if by starting these threads, the work can get started.  He very much hopes that you all will add to this effort so that we might be done in a tenth of the time than if it were just him and Mud working on it.


All of the metrics for all of infographic is focused on "average for Montana".  Keeping in mind that the average Montana home is 2000 square feet.

The row for this thread is Systemic Dangers and will contain data for the following types of heating systems:



Electric Baseboard




Mini Splits




In Ground Heat Pump




Central Natural Gas Furnace




Central Propane Furnace




Pellet Stove




Wood Stove




Modern wood stove




Masonry Heater




Rocket Mass Heater
