I have finally decided to install the furnace in the basement. Was going to sell it after installing a Englander 30-NC woodstove this Fall. But after much debate, it is decided.. Its going in..
Drove to Kinsman Stoves and got my 4" venting Yesterday morning. Always a pleasure at Erics shop. Got to see the new CAB -50 heatilator. Its not just a BBB like the Big E or other models like that. It actually a good looking stove. Great looking flame and great heat output..
Anyways.... I got a good start this morning. Got the furnace downstairs and everything marked and lined up. I did not buy a thimble, as I am going through cinder block. Just as I was getting in the Groove... I received a phone call from my local hardware store (I was just there and rented an appliances dolly). They called to inform me I won there raffle. The raffle was for a Husqvarna chainsaw w/ hard case, bar oil, mix oil, and 2 hats. I was so happy I won.. Even though I have a fee chainsaws. You can never have to many. Drove up, returned dolly and had to do a Photo shoot. So......
I didnt get much done. But it has begun. After some more measuring, I dont think I am going to use the duct work that I received with it. Going to call the Company that installed the New Trane furnace and all new ductwork a few yrs back.
So this will be an ongoing thread and I will try and post a bunch of pics. I did the woodstove install and was pretty thorough with it. That way when someone searches for the Fahrenheit, they receive some of the info they are looking for. The ductwork may take a week or 2. As I have yet to contact the company. Until it made it to the basement, I thought what I had would work.
Here are a few pics. Just of the furnace sitting in its place. The idea is it will pull the hot air from the woodstove and circulate it throughout the upstairs. As its kinda hard now. If its above 40*, the woodstove can handle the duties.
Sorry to keep rambling. So excited about winning. Seems like I never win anything. Oh won a Ipod touch at my Christmas Party last night too.... Stoked
More posts and pics to follow in the coming days/weeks. I want to done right and for the deal I got on it. I can stand to spend a few extra bucks on a Good install... And the Avatar to return to a Pellet Fire, rather than the Wood Eater...
Also a Pic of the Trane LP furnace thats going on yr 4 unused (once in Fall and Spring to make sure the burners work) still need the blpwer for A/C, but no heat needed.
Im good without Propane... Thank you very much. 2yrs and still about 50% in the tank. Used to use 3-4 tanks a yr ($3,800) now one tank every 3-4 yrs (still cook food with LP)
