Hi,
I have a 2000 sq.ft 2-story home with a gas furnace (in the attic) that heats up the whole house with forced convection with 1 register in all the rooms (3 in the living room).
That living room (upstairs) also has a wood insert which we pretty much never use because we work long hours and by the time we get home, running a fire just doesn't make sense. So we only use it once in a while on week-end, mainly for coziness when we have guests.
We just finished a garage and the large room just under that living room that we used as storage is now going to be our master bedroom. Because it's large and it's got only 1 register, it's fairly difficult to get to a decent temperature.
I am toying with the idea of replacing that old wood insert by a pellet stove. While I could possibly install it in that new master bedroom, it's probably going to be more work and then we wouldn't be able to enjoy it when we have guests. Would it be possible to just replace the wood insert by a pellet stove and have some kind of forced air system to push some of the air to the master bedroom? That room is about 350-400 sq.ft.
Whether or not I install upstairs or downstairs, I think the idea of a pellet stove really makes sense as it will allow us to use a thermostat and found our home at a decent temperature when we get home. We have one of these honeywell wifi thermostat and they really helped us in those cold day winters!
Thanks
Stephen
