Hi, I'm new to pellet stoves and I just installed a Summers Heat 55-SHPEP which I got from lowes.
The flame is blazing, yet I don't think I'm getting the heat output I should be. I'm having troubles keeping a ~200 sqft room near 70 degrees let alone the adjacent rooms.
Even on 9-9 it seems that the only thing that gets warm is the small room its in, and at that point, the blaze scares me to keep it on.
The latest adjustments 4-4-1 seem to give off some decent heat when standing in front of the unit. The stove is very hot to the touch too. The fan (120cfm) seems to be blowing right at high setting, although I have nothing to compare it to. (It seems like this unit could move more hot air with a bigger cfm fan)
Could my room/house be leaking heat that bad?
I contacted Englander several times with no definitive answer. And I've also read some posts where people seem to just have bought a defective unit.
My question to other 55-SHPEP, 25-EP owners:
How hot is your stove and how much sqft can you heat? I know all setups and houses are different, I'm just looking for a comparison as to what I should expect from this stove.
Thanks!
