I think the cost is a little high for a 28-3500. I have one from Lowes under the other name that I cant think of right now and with triple wall pipe from Mendards it cost me around $2000. My buddy installed it for me since I don't have good use of my left leg and I gave him a couple of hundred. I hammer drilled the hole in my poured wall and it was not much work after that.

Unless your running a lot of pipe outside and duct work inside, I would think you could stay under $3000 for sure.

I think go with what you got, so if you have a boiler heating your house, use a boiler, if you have forced air, use an add on furnace. 3500 seems a little low to me, 4500 probably legitimate. If you put in a boiler, everyone on this site seems to think you need storage ( I don't have a boiler, so only quoting what I have read), so consider that cost to your boiler cost also.

If you spend 300 / mo in propane for 5 months of the year, you save 1500 or so / year (at current prices, last year you were spending 450 / month), so you'll pay back in 3- 5 years, depending on what you spend, maybe a little more if you consider the saw, gas ....

i spent around 1300 for the 28-3500 then another grand or so on ss triple wall pipe and fixtures ,did it myself no big deal really, its not rocket science .I did it last year and by my calculations ,it has already paid for itself! pretty hard to beat that

I am not sure what an liner would cost and depends on how long and high your chimney is, but I would shop around for quotes and see how they compare. If I read this right, the liner is going to cost you over $2000? That is too much in my opinion.
