[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 3929745, member: 45550"] I appreciate the input but I figured out not just a workable but also a good solution. Running just one gas fireplace it kept the 1450 sqft main level at 75° yesterday, 750 sqft bottom story (walk-out basement) didn’t drop below 65 without any heat and the 1450 sqft top story stayed in the low 60’s again without running that system. Not sure how accurate the gauge is on my 250 gallon propane tank but in running that fireplace for the last what, 3 days looks like it only used 3% so I could do this a looooong time. Also, after doing load calculations should we lose power and be running on generator power I’ll be running at 25%-35% at any given time and I could maintain that for 4-5 days. 😁 I’m feelin’ good about our situation now. 👍🏻👍🏻 [/QUOTE]
