Hi,
First let me say great site, I love it, very helpful.
Ok, I have a us stove hotblast add on wood furnace (1537) the 2500sq ft model. I had a heating and cooling guy come out today and give me an estimate to hook it all in with my current electric heat pump and ductwork. First qustion is I have the fiber board duct for my main trunck line, is this ok to use or should it be metal? Heating guy said if it works now why change it. Second I thought the wood furnace should be tied to the cold air return but heating guy said he can build me a box on the back of the furnace with a filter and that should be fine. Finally, my air ducts from the stove will be tied in at the end of the main trunk line meaning it will have to push about 30ft of trunk with abou 8 or 9 flex lines off of that, (its the only way I could set it up because of my chimney. I guess I am just looking for some advice or suggestions to see if this will work and be ok set up this way. I am going to call us stove tomorrow to see if its ok to run this furnace into fiber duct I dont know about codes, I cant find anyone that does.
Thanks
