Living “Off the Grid” is a gas!

Yes we have eleven propane gas lines! My intention is to try to use as little propane as possible however it will be there as a back up if required. For example I have installed propane to both dryer locations (main floor and the basement suite) however we will be using a solar clothes dryer called “a clothes line”. The domestic hot water will be heated by propane and the supply water will feed through a solar system first and if the solar hot water is heated sufficiently then the propane instant DH water heater will not fire. The Navien Instantaneous Water heater modulates so that if the in coming water has only been heated 50% by the solar the Navien will only burn enough propane to finish it off to the set temperature we require. I also have four propane space heaters but we intend to use the woodstoves to do 99% of the heating. We have a gas range and cook top although in the basement we can use the woodstove as well to cook on. Our back up generator will be propane however we are hoping to only use it in the winter as we are trying to design our power requirements to be satisfied by the PV solar in the seven spring, shoulder and summer months.
