I bought a used Accentra insert (manufactured Oct 2006) this summer and installed it into my home. Before I installed I disassembled everything I could and blew it out with compressed air in the garage.
Since it has been installed the right hand side seems to get hotter then the left. I was just wondering if this is normal. If you place your hands on top on either side of the pellet hopper door, the right hand side is hot while the left is just barely warm. Also the left hand "circle" in the grill decoration is putting out luke warm air and at a low volume. However the right hand circle is putting out a lot of air and much hotter. It seems like maybe something is dirty or blocked somewhere. Note: I did clean the heat exchanger tubes again last weekend, maybe not well enough?
I am also a little disappointed with how warm this is keeping house. The house is a 1948 cape cod with block walls, stucco exterior, drywall just on furring strips. I put all new pella windows in the house this summer. We are only trying to heat the downstairs area and at that we have one of the bedrooms closed off. Running at full blast it's 69 in the living room, 62 on the thermostat going back the hallway. I know the uninsulated walls are the real problem, I wasn't expecting to be walking around in shorts and a tshirt, I just thought it would do a little better then this.
