I got my 2400 installed recently, put It in the basement of my 2000 ft ranch house. Basement in not finished and is wide open. My basement started out at about 68 degrees. I haven't been able to warm it up hardly at all I'm up to about 73 and it's not even cold outside (been about 30-37 during the day all week). I haven't been able to get much heat upstairs and gas furnace is still running regularly. I have been keeping stove around 500-700 degrees as constantly as possible. Everyone on here says how much heat these things put out and I can't even get my basement warmed up much. I'm wondering if I need more heat or If I should have bought a wood furnace instead. My house is hard to heat and I knew that going in but, I thought this would do it the way everyone on here talks. Any thoughts are appreciated.
