Cost per 1M BTU's of various heating fuels

11. Full cords, measured by shed volume.

"Face cord" is a nearly meaningless unit of volume measure, but if cut to 16" length represents 1/3 of a cord. so our consumption is not that different.

This year I purchased firewood for the first time (from a friends college student son) and paid $250 for a cord and a half.

My heat pump is an air source unit 5 tons, IIRC. The geothermal units require a very large area of buried pipes and with a winter electric heating bill of ≈$30/month I couldn't make the ROI make any kind of economic sense.
