heating

When you have no natural gas available and the house is not suitable for ducts, cold climate mini-split heatpump system with multiple heads is the best option.
You keep the baseboards for backup.

It's a good idea to have the option to heat with wood, but your fireplace has to be designed for heating. Many just vent all the heat out the chimney.

Propane can be as pricey as off-peak electricity.

Nothing will be cheap to install.

wood stove is what the previous owner used exclusively (electric was set to maybe 10deg incase) i will most likely need to replace it down the road as all the fire bricks could use replacing and they are 150$ plus a piece with 8 of them, one definitely needs to be replaced now.

Heatpump with wood is a great combo.

The heat output from a wood stove is intense and hard to control, so heating with it in milder weather can result in over-heating and waste of fuel.

Heatpumps on the other hand are most energy efficient in mild to typical winter weather. Capacity may be maintained but more electricity is required to do the job as it gets colder. By the time it's -20c, the efficiency is 150% instead 250 to 400%.

So, use heatpump most of the season and fire up the wood stove for extremes.
