I am new to the forum and I am looking to heat my 2700 square foot raised ranch with a pellet stove or pellet stove insert. Some special considerations that I have is the house is poorly insulated and I have cathedraI ceiling in my living room and dining room. The cathedral ceiling peaks at 14 feet. I have a ceiling fan at the peek of the cathedral ceiling. Last season from December to March I burned 900 gallons of oil. I am trying to cut down on my heating cost. I prefer a insert, but my main concern is heating the whole first floor of my raised ranch. Here is the lay out of my first floor:
The dimensions of my fireplace are :
I was looking at the quadrafire mt vernon insert but I just realized that my fireplace is too small for it. Can you guys recommend a reliable and efficient pellet stove or insert? I forgot to mention. If I go with a stove I will place it in my living room/ dining room where the 30' is in the picture.
Thanks in advance
