We had one for about 15 years. It takes a lot of work to keep it going. My husband did all the work. It really did help on utility bills. WHen he passed away I kept it going for about 2 years. You have to be sure to follow the maintenance of the unit to keep it working properly. Make sure you know the costs for replacing the blower and treatments for the water to keep the water jacket from deteriorating. If you have an ample supply of free wood it would be worth it.
