Hi
I’m located in MA and currently have a 30 year old oil boiler that’s about to die and an older green Vermont castings looking Quadra fire saga stove as secondary heat. I am loathe to spend $9000 to replace the oil boiler and would rather upgrade my gas heating stove to something that can handle my nearly 2,000 SF home—basically a 4 square style with an open plan downstairs.
I love seeing pretty fire, but I’m mostly driven by efficiency, performance and cost.
I grew up with wood stoves so this is new territory for me.
The Quadrafire is almost doing a fine job, but I’m thinking if we size up and go for something newer we may save fuel.
Right now, when used regularly the gas bill can run about $300/month.
I’d love any advice for favorite models, and if you’re familiar with western mass., a dealer to work with.
Thank you!!
