What Sustainable Heat Sources Can You Use?

Here is the Valley of the Sun we have very mild winters and most people heat their homes with either natural gas of electric energy.  Unless the electricity is generated from solar or wind energy neither can be considered sustainable.

In a few cases the use of propane gas is also a heat source here in Arizona.

The proper use of space heaters can reduce the amount of electric energy consumed but is just a reduction and not a sustainable move.  Homeowners have more choices than those that rent when it comes to using sustainable resources.

While the use of fireplaces and wood burning stoves are on the sustaining side they are usually restricted or banned in apartments due to their increased risk of uncontrolled fires.  

Wood burners are very much a sustainable resources as you can always grow new trees.  But in large cities they can become a pollution source and their use can be banned when the air quality is threatened.  Many times the conditions that lead to bitter cold nights are also when the pollution levels are on the rise.  The last thing you want is for an inversion layer and cold air to combine when many people are trying to use fireplaces and wood burning stoves for their heating.

Wind and solar power can be used to charge batteries so that their energy output can be used whenever they are need for heating.  Again this favors homeowners over rental properties.  

The use of thermal energy is also restricted to those with properties.  Using the trapped heat below your yard can be very useful for winter heating and summer cooling as the temperature is a very stable 50 to 60 degrees.  If your heat exchanger is working at that level both heating and cooling is done very efficiently.
