I am looking for gas boiler alternatives for private house. At this moment I have found solid fuel boiler as replacement of gas one. Could someone suggest any alternative to gas technology or other (better) implementation of this one?

ADDED:

By the way I have found:

Thermia's heat pumps

  • Why do you want an alternative to gas? Without knowing that, all you'll get is a list of possibilities, ranging from coal to solar.

  • @kdgregory the cost of gas is going to be too expensive in near future in my country. :( I am looking for an independence in this question. I have to find out any other proven implementations, that just work.

    Invest in solar heating, solar panel combination.. high initial cost but returns after 10 years(just in time gas is too expensinve) can cut electrical/gas costs up to 50% if isntalled correctly.. but this is not always possible

    Nice post, but one note: while the Tauntaun will keep you warm, it may smell bad.
