| Summary: | A program was implemented for the installation of 1000 wood heaters in electrically heated homes. A key component of the program is the assessment of the performance and cost effectiveness of wood heaters from the perspective of the customer, the power distributor, and the TVA power system. As a first step, fifty of the wood-heated homes in North Georgia were chosen for detailed data collection, only 24 of which reported sufficient data and met validity criteria. A large range of savings on electric consumption was found, from $18.75 to $384 per heating season. The annual energy savings associated with a wood heater installation is estimated to be 6000 kilowatt-hours; diversified peak monthly demand reductions of up to 4.5 kilowatts were indicated during the heating season with an estimated average monthly peak demand reduction of 3 kilowatts.
