I installed a wood-burning stove in my big old house in Normandy. The manufacture says it has "Nominal Heat Output of 15kW". But I found (during the winter) that it raised the room temperature much less than 6 kW of electric heating.
Is there an industry-standard definition of "Nominal Heat Output" or "Nominal Power Output"?
Or is it simply what the manufacturer chooses to call the stove?
Many thanks for any advice!
