I am not sure if this is the right forum, but anyway - I am building a house that I will be using only during the weekends, maybe once or twice per month. I may move in there eventually after a few years. The house is in Maine and it gets very cold in the winter.
I will have a propane tank and need to decide on some sort of a central heating system based on propane. Since I’ll be there on weekends only (including during the winter), I need to find an easy way to “winterize” and the “de-winterize” every other week or so.
A water based heating system may not be practical, as I don’t want to drain the water every time. A coolant based system may work, except that I hear it is not recommended as the coolant might be harsh on the system and leaks may develop – definitely a bad idea given that I won’t be there most of the time to see them when they happen.
Then a hot air based system is an option, though I don’t like the fact that it is dusty, and there is no way to control the temperature via different circuits.
What do you think is the best solution?
Also, do they sell washing machines and dishwashers that are easy to drain?
Thanks!
