Harman P43- installed and running

Got our P43 today. Got it home and into the house, dry fit the piping then siliconed the joints, hooked it all up and started her up.

Pros (so far) HEAT and lots of it. House warming nicely. Free ton of Curran softies (Home & Hearth gets $259 for those). Currently burning Greene Team.

Cons-(so far) gotta get used to the fan noise. Fortunately it's about 18 ft from the TV room and around the corner from my computer so it's not really noticable unless you're in the room with it.

Other big pain- My Amazon "guaranteed friday Dec 6 delivery" of my 3301P wireless thermostat and APC BE750G UPS/battery backup didn't show up. Now says Mon the 9th.

Yeah Amazon posted some generic "orders may be delayed 1-2 business days" message. Now I can see if my stuff was coming from west of Texas & the Midwest where the big storm was but it was coming from Richmond, VA to NH.

Fan noise is only really noticeable if we're in the room with the stove. TV is about 18 feet away "around the L shape" in our semi-open floor plan so there it's not even noticed (the 5.1 A/V receiver surround sound helps). And the fans in my computer tower make enough noise to cancel out the stove in my den/office.

Been running for 4 hrs now on room temp/manual set about 72, every room downstairs is 71, upstairs 68. 26 outside (feels like 19 w/windchill according to weather app on my desktop). Probably turn it down to 65 overnight.

Congrats on the new stove. What were you heating with before?

Combination of electric baseboard and a old woodstove with a pellet basket in it we used usually Fri thru Sun nites.
