Darryl,
Not terribly big ~1600 ft2 or 150 m2. The thing is that it was
built in 1964. Single story, brick veneer, uninsulated walls and
floors. Attic is blown insulation sometime in the 80's.
windows are original with 'storm' windows outside.
The best feature is the deciduous trees on the

I can't speak for size, but I do know that homes in the south are
typically built without any insulation. When gas prices were low,
this was seen as an extra construction expense that was only justified
in the north... Even many of the ones here in Colorado from the 60's
and 70's had minimal
to central
heating also, lets see how it works.

Well, I live on the left coast, which is considerably milder than
Ottawa, but my family of four only spent about $700 on natural gas
last winter. Insulation, weatherstripping and good windows are key.

I have a cental heating system in our house that burns natural
gas. The unit sits in a closet in about the dead center of the
house.
I live near Charleston, SC USA about 40 miles from the coast, so it
gets cold for a few weeks or a couple of months depending on your
definition of cold. Anyway
Stop. Don't. Been there, done that. BD won't climb a wick. I got a
Kerosun with a wick running on about 40/60 BD/kero but it wasn't worth
the hassle. A gun or nozzle style works much better, or google OM-22.
It runs well on *good quality* BD cut with a little HHO1. It will run
but coke
I believe that there are number of people on this list who have used
biodiesel in furnaces designed for heating oil. Might be something in
the archives from people who have done this.

There is a list devoted to this.

DO NOT ask *any* questions about anythng but gun-style furnaces - Becket
Riello and so on. If you ask
about BD in a Kerosun or anything not strictly related to furnaces, they'll rip
you head off.
Good luck!
