Hi all,
It's me again. Lots of questions.
I looked at Heatilators this AM (new) and they left me feeling a little cold, no pun intended, next to the Harmans on the floor. They seemed to be a lot more work to clean, and while I could picture one in our family room, DH wants to get one first for our library which is a room with a lot more historic/architectural detail so I'd like something a little more attractive.
I know what the MSRP is for the Heatilator and for Quads because the dealers that I've met have told me, and the Harmans because it's posted. Do people pay the MSRP, or is it possible to shop around, say, a Harman or a Quad at different dealers in the same region and get a different price? By different I mean significantly so...and I'm not going out of area, but there are 4-5 dealers within 30-60 minutes of me and I want to know if I need to visit them all and try to talk a price down or if it is what it is. Make sense?
Also there's a local dealer who sells Enviro - I like the look of the Empress but does anyone have a sense of the retail on those?
I've found an installer who seems great, and he says he can guide me to buying the right flue kits etc. for less than the dealer costs (he's probably here on this board for all I know lol). But I need to find the stove.
Thanks again!
Mary
