I'm curious of thoughts since there's guys with EPA approved units and others not and both (usually) swear by whatever they have.
I was wholeheartedly planning on building this summer but the appraisal came back $60k short of what I needed on my 1900 sf new home on 40 acres. With that, my wife and I have decided to wait another year.
I budgeted a Portage and Main BL 2840 ($9000) into the cost of the new home, but since not building, do I buy now or roll the dice with what I can buy next year or two years from now when I actually build???
I have the space to store it. I could go with a cheaper unit like Ridgewood, but that doesn't make enough difference to build a home and I still like how the P&M appear bulletproof. BUT, anything not EPA approved will not be available one year from now!!!!!!!!!
I'm just curious what thoughts are from people on here? I hear rumors of EPA approved units of $12k for smallest square footage. I'm just thinking that paying $9k now will be cheaper than $14k later...
I have to heat 3000 sq ft house, 576 attached garage, and 1200 detached workshop.
Thanks,
Lamont
