heating

[johneh]

Anyone besides me still using their pellet stove?
Only 6going to 2 tonight was also very cool today, and
tomorrow promises the same. So my wood furnace
is up and running, as is my Pellet stove. Last week, A/C
this week, heat
Shortest summer I can remember

Nope switch to Heat Pump. Back in March actually. 53f today. New Heat Pump got April 23rd heats down to -20f. Will be Interesting to see how that works vs Pellets.

 

[Washed-Up]

Yeah in fact I just turned mine on…7c…am and pm sporadically…was 1c here in the mountains this am and will be about the same tonight…

Turned the P43 on yesterday. Was 74*F in the house Sunday afternoon, but yesterday it was cold with dark skies and wind so the inside temp dropped to 67*F. The stove just finished a cycle just. Supposed to be the same pretty much all week so I brought up a bag of pellets and emptied half of it in the hopper. We'll see if I need the other half later in the week.

 

[Whitenuckler]

Yes for sure. Mine is in the basement and it gets cool down there. I have electric heat down there (2000W) and it is set
for 17C. We had that one day when it went to 25C, which broke the record, then cooler damp weather. I turn it on
about 5pm to warm up the basement for my TV watching (old movies and golf). I have been using room thermostat mode
however I keep the feed rate down low. Sometimes the flame does not go out while I'm down there. I have 2 heat pumps
upstairs so don't need it full time. Not sure when the cleaning will get done and the seasonal shutdown. I know last summer
was really hot. Not so sure about this year.

Mine is set at 71 it still comes on over night, in the 50's with rain the next few days, I will bump it to 74 when the GF gets home then turn it back before bed. Looks like temps upper 50 and low 60 for the next week. Good I have a lot of extra pellets. I have a heat pump but it isn't a warm heat like the pellet stove.

It's been really cold and damp here. 5C right now. Nice and cosy in the basement. I'm on my last few bags. I am going to buy some more.

36deg and rain. Got a lake started in the back yard. Yep the stove is still in service still. 😎

We just got a frost advisory for overnight into tomorrow morning. Good thing those PEI potatoes are still in the ground if they have planted them.

Came out this morning and the gas stove was on and running, the heat felt good. We're looking at upper 40's here in SE CT tonight and rainy/messy/gusty day tomorrow. Guess its better than 2 feet of snow. Keep warm all.

just fully cleaned my Harman P61A 4 days ago including capping the outside exhaust and damrid in the stove.
so what happens? cold front moves into Eastern Pa and now running my oil furnace/baseboard heat past 2 nites.. KRAZEY!!

This is my first year with the stove and it's in the basement. If the weather stays like this I'm not shutting down mine.
I set my new electric heater for 16C (digital built-in thermostat) and I just went down and it was reading 16C. The basement
will not warm up much during the day, and so I am starting the pellet stove at around 4pm set at 22C Room Mode. I shut it
off when I go back upstairs. I took the cleanout off my outside tee (for the first time). Only had a few tablespoons of fine ash.
I have a feeling these pellets stoves run pretty clean. Weather forecast shows more cold damp weather.

 

[Tonyray]

we had 70 degrees and above for past few weeks..[ many days hit 80 so it was a no brainer to shut stove down for season].
but, weather threw a curve here...

 

[ABusWrench]

Shut stove down weeks ago. 10 bags left! Sun has been helping warm the house, but since it's been cloudy and raining, have been running the heat pump when needed. Strange weather! 75-80 degrees in April and early May. May 21st need heat, crazy!

 

[johneh]

Was down to my last 2 bags. I was at Home Depot, and they ran out of Eastern Embers again. That is the second time. Found a stash at the Home Hardware and bought 10 more. They had 90 in stock. Now I'm planning on running all night and tomorrow, as we are getting rain and a high of 8.....I bet all the folks that who were down south are losing their tans.

I closed up the basement stove on 5/11. It hadn't run since some time in April as I lowered the thermostat to 60* and it had been staying at 62-64*

Yesterday I went down there and one of my first thoughts was, dang, I wish the stove wasn't capped off. The basement temp is now 60* and will likely go down the next few days. But, it isn't a living space, so I'll leave it be (I have no other heat source down there).

P43 has been running fairly regularly the past couple of days. I emptied a bag in there on Wednesday and I need to bring another bag of pellets up today.

 

[Whitenuckler]

26C and sunny today. Running the heat pumps in AC mode to cool off the upstairs. Running the pellet stove in the basement
to heat it up from 18C. This is where room mode really comes in handy. I have it set for 22C, my probe is extended, and
feed rate 1.5. If the fire goes out, and it's nearly bedtime, I just shut it off.

 

[johneh]

This week is too warm for any heat, but Saturday is cold and wet, so maybe the pellet stove
By the middle of next week, the low 30s . Bring on the heat and A/C

 

[Ssyko]

Yeah im ready for some warmth!! Cold n damp has pressed the test button and ive had enough. 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Vale straven]

How quickly seasons can shift...amazing!

 

[ABusWrench]

We just have to make it till next week! Extended forecast has 80's for next week. Now I need to change the a/c filter.

 

[shtrdave]

mine has been running on and off all week, turned it up some on some of the days. block building, takes a few days once it warms to actually warm up inside.

 

[Washed-Up]

End of June I usually disconnect mine, install the portable A/C using the pellet stove thimble for a/c exhaust until fall…G7 this year out here has messed with my schedule a bit though

 

[johneh]

Pellet stove on the last 2 days . This morning house cool enough to put the propane on .
Tuesday, they are forecasting a high of 31 with a humidex . Maybe I will think about
putting the stove to bed for the summer. Just maybe!!
