Oil or gas
Propane;
We had a small house in MA with a high effiency propane boiler. It ran small base boards aound the perimeter of the building. We heated the house for ~ 70$ a month on the coldest days. The unit we had also heated the hot water. The unit was smaller than a hot water tank.
I have an outside wood burner with hotwater heat. The unit is fairly efficient and due to its remote location. You can burn almost anything without worry of chimney fires etc. I have it hooked to the barn and pool currently.
I put an inground heat pump in the new house. This allow heating and cooling of 4k ft for 40-50$ a montn. It also heats the hot water. It is about 10 K initially but, in your area my electric hot water bill ran 40-50$.
Down side you need the land to run the lines. I used a Nordic system from your area.

Newt;
A flexible isolator between the furnace and the main plenum would reduce the noise tranfered through the duct work.
The main trunks on my system are insulated on the inside of the steel ducts. This also reduces the noise. The only noise I get is the rushing air when it comes on.
The main noise I get now is the water cirulating pump for the main lines. I have had other pump that are barely audible but the pump this system arrived with is too loud. On the furnace area is enclosed it should be less of a problem but I wonder if I should contact the manufacture or furnace supplier.

Well you had me confused for a moment there, I had to read back aways to pick up the thread.
The UPS units use the valve regulated lead acid batteries, which we have discussed before in terms of tractor starter batteries. There would be no problem with the start load on the battery obviously a DC truck or tractor start motor is going to draw more amp than an AC fan motor. I am however uncertain as to the switching circiut on the UPS. Certainly if the unit will run the fan or furnace continously for a time it should be able to accept the start amps from the motor.
I believe the units for this application are different than one for the computer.
