I've had all 3 kinds of heat I like the boiler / baseboard heat for overall use the best. It's very clean & the apt. that I lived in , in OHIO it worked great & kept us warm & steady very nice. Both of my houses I've had here in Michigan , I've had foced air heat & wood heat. Forced air (regular heating system) is noisey & costs a snot load now. Gas has gone up so much it has gotten out of control & the gas companys know they have you by the balls with it, so they think. My last house I had wood heat for 10 years in it & loved it. Yes you have to dust a little more but the cost is really low. I've been in this house now for 26 years now & went back to wood heat about 5 years now & I don't know why I didn't come back to wood heat sooner. My neighbors house is about the same size & his furnece is aboth the same size & age & his last 3 bills have been over $ 300.00 per month. I pay for wood & I pick up any free wood that falls during the summer when it storms & some times friend give me wood if they know of someone who has taken a tree down or they know where a tree is down, but that is only about I'd say 1/10 of my wood , so I buy most of my wood & when it's real cold like it's been for the last 2 weeks, or under normal cold weather it only costs me about $ 50.00 per month to heat my home & I like it warm. I have a good wood stove , it's made by a company that is no longer in business called , I think, It's called Blaze. I had the same stove in my last house & I had one in my garage when I was still working & in business & I like them a lot. For me because I'm cheep I prefere a wood stave to heat with but I do rather like baseboard heat if I were to build another house. It's not as expensive as forced air either. Because you have to remember that the forced air hits you twice with the gas bill & the electric bill & both are high for the forced air because that fan takes a lot of electricty to run. The little pump on the boiler doesn't take as much so it's going to be less expensive.
