howdy, all. New to this whole pellet thing, but grew up with wood stoves in the adirondacks. Now living in central ct and looking to maybe put in a pellet insert. We have a really "connecticut" house: 1800 sqft center hall colonial with a traditional fireplace right in the center of the living room. currently heat with an oil boiler and i can only begin to tell you the depth of my hatred for it. I've got three young children so, we're home a lot. I know that an insert won't make the whole house warm, but can i expect a significant decrease in oil use? the local dealer claims that it will heat 2000 sqft, even upstairs as long as doors are open -- that sounds like a stretch to me. So, what types of inserts are best bets and which dealers do y'all like in ct?
