We have a small house near Mt Sunapee that we will use mostly during ski season. Heat is a combination of wood stove, electric baseboards and a propane fueled Rinnai wall heater. Currently there is no whole house drain though we can shut off the water pump to minimize potential damage from frozen pipes.
According to neighbors, power outages are common. The Rinnai needs electrical power to run the igniter and fan but power required is only 121 watts - less than some laptops.
Anyone use a UPS to power a wall heater or pellet stove? It looks like I can get one for $500 to $1,000 that will run it for two to four days.
