Hello, my first post. This is probably a question asked many times. I live in northeast PA, and heat with oil heat. I have a well kept 1200 sq ft. Rancher with a 600sq f. finished basement. All windows are vinyl and new bay window and front door. my question is to cut down on my oil heating bill where is the best place to put my pellet stove in which I need to purchase and what size. We do spend alot of time in our finished basement, but need to live upstairs getting ready for work and sleeping. Also not sure what size to get. I thought maybe 30 to 40,000 for upstairs. or if installing downstairs maybe 50,000 btu or so. If i installed downstairs I would install some 3or 4 drop ducts into the drop ceiling to heat the upstairs and leave the door to the basement open. Also what in your opinion is the most reliable, easiest to clean the Harmon or Quadrafire. I work lots of OT in the winter months and my wife would have to tend to the stove. Thanks for your future answers, Mark.............................................
