New Feel Good Heat video highlights three wood heat installations across Vermont that make the case for switching to modern wood heat. 

Choosing a heating system is a long-term decision. Most systems will serve a building for decades, committing its owner not only to a heating technology, but also to the fuel it uses and the costs and benefits that come with it. This year has brought those tradeoffs into sharp focus. With heating oil prices surpassing $6 per gallon, rising fuel costs are straining household budgets, putting pressure on municipalities and schools, and increasing the cost of doing business. 

For schools, businesses, municipalities, and homeowners across Vermont, modern wood heat offers benefits that extend well beyond keeping buildings warm. By replacing or reducing reliance on fossil fuels with a locally available renewable resource, wood heating can lower energy costs, provide greater fuel-price stability, support Vermont’s forest economy, and create markets for low-grade wood. From a school in St. Johnsbury to a corporate campus in Montpelier and a town garage in Sheffield, Vermonters are showing how modern wood heat can turn a basic necessity into a long-term investment in their buildings, communities, and local economy.
