We are looking at all Harman products and here is what we have priced out so far:
*P35I insert 35,000 BTU heats 1300 sq ft
*Accentra freestanding 40,000 btu heats 1450 sq ft
*Harman XXV 50,000 btus heats 1750 sq ft
*Harman P68 68,000 btus heats 2200 sq ft
We live in Ohio in an all electric ranch house about 2250 sq ft. We have an open floor plan Fam rm, kirchen, dr with 17 ft cathedral ceilings. We just moved into the house and have not had really cold weather yet but this is a really cold house. It is only 21 years old but the Living area is really cold! Only warm area is master on other end of house from family room. We would like the pellet to be our main source of heat (I think) and use the fan on the furnace to recirculate the heat.
We have a large finished basement but we really don't use it that much so not too concerned about it.
My question is would the P35I provide enough heat on cold days to really keep the living area (about 1000 sq ft) really warm? Should we do this and then just use space heaters in other two bedrooms to heat when needed. It is just me and my husband living in the house. Or should we go with a larger free standing unit to give us more heat.
I don't know if it is more cost effective to go with a smaller unit that is on high all the time to heat or a larger unit that we could maybe keep on low or med.
We are really confused Any help will be greatly appreciated!
