I recently purchased a Heatilator EcoChoice CAB50. I love it!
One thing concerns me. When the stove auto-starts on "call for heat", the stove lights up beautifully, and feeds pellets at a steady rate. The stove is set to "low". It takes a full 15 minutes before the convection fan comes on & starts blowing air into the room.
This seems like a lot of energy that's being blown right out the flue!
The snap switch is (if I read the manual properly) a 150F switch.
The temperature of the air coming out of the CAB50, once the fan starts, seems QUITE hot. Perhaps I'll bring my toolkit home & check the temperature on convection-air startup.
Is 15 minutes atypical for this unit?
Thanks much.
