2000sq ft house.

$800 6 cord log length delivered.

+chainsaw and split by hand. This typically lasts me an entire winter.

My electric bull rises up to a whopping $130 in the dead of winter to run all 3 water pumps my outdoor wood boiler uses.

I'd say wood is the way to go. Especially when I can harvest 100% of my wood off my land. Just a whole lot of time investment.

Good for you but the manual labor is not worth it to me hah. I helped my dad with it all growing up and I am not interested in that.

...juust giving you a baseline for your question OP. You don't have to spend $800 on a chainsaw to do even more labor but lower your heating cost. You could also spend more money on a splitter to raise your overall cost slightly.

Just trying to give you a complete picture of one residents' heating journey not toot any horns about what I am able to handle and how little I spend vs just turning a dial.
