Greg Pahl, author of Natural Home Heating: The Complete Guide to Renewable Energy Options, has performed an energy overhaul on his 1950s tract home in northern Vermont. He has transformed a house that was built with no consideration for energy efficiency or sustainability into a naturally heated home using sustainable fuel sources.

In this video, Greg explains the conversion of his decorative living room fireplace—a “smoke alarm tester,” as he puts it—into a usable and efficient home heating appliance. He’ll explain what’s involved in installing one in your own home, saving you money and energy this winter.
