Hello everyone. I'm brand new here as well as a new owner of a new pellet furnace. My DH and I bought our farm about 2 1/2 yrs ago. When we moved in, we used the propane furnace but quickly decided to use the wood add-on furnace in the basement after we got our first propane bill! It's an old one and didn't really heat the house very well. Additionally, DH HATES cutting wood and we were feeding that beast every 3-4 hrs to keep the temp at least 62! We decided to buy an add-on pellet furnace from TSC. It's a US Stove Company American Harvest 6500. Before purchasing it, I heard pellet furnaces take quite a while to learn how to adjust to burn correctly. You ain't just a kiddin'! DH and BIL installed it Friday and we finally got it somewhat adjusted. We finally have a comfortable temperature and are even able to keep the door to the upstairs open without the first floor of the house freezing! With our old wood furnace, we could seldom get it above 62 degrees in the house without firing up the wood stove in the LR. I'm so happy with the new furnace and am so glad to finally have heat! Winter in Michigan will never be the same and thank God for that! My only regret is that we didn't get one sooner. Now to figure out which pellets to buy. I know they vary widely and am not fond of wasting our money so need to start researching pellets! We got some cheap ones from TSC to start out but before we purchase by the ton, will have to get my head full of info.
Nice to be here and any info/help on adjusting the settings on a pellet furnace is quite welcome! Thanks.
