We are planning my fiance’s dream of a rustic getaway chalet..
My fiance is finally about to get his dream.
He wants a rustic chalet in the mountains, plus both of us are going to build 1 from scratch.
It will be our little getaway chalet, mostly his getaway chalet, but I might join him from time to time. It’s a chance to get close to nature, plus prefer the easyr things in life. We have a place in mind a couple of minutes from here, plus even found the perfect piece of property. We are waiting to hear back on our offer, however I’m sure it will be accepted. Then both of us need utilities brought out to it. My fiance would prefer to stay off the grid plus use solar power for energy, but I don’t recognize how that would work with the heating plus a/c. My fiance plans on using either wood burning stoves or fireplaces to heat the chalet, but I would love to have radiant radiant floors installed, but of course, that will never happen. Still, even with the source of heat figured out, a/c is a factor to seriously consider. Can a/c be run on solar power? It sure would be nice to avoid a regular electric bill for the place. But, both of us love to be comfortable too. Maybe both of us wouldn’t even need a/c, though. We’ll see, however even if both of us need a/c plus it can’t be run on solar power, I’m sure both of us could really enough convert to solar power in the future. It’s something to bear in mind when both of us choose an , if both of us need 1.
