Hello, my husband and I are looking into purchasing a used Dutch West 2479 from a trusted friend for our 1000 square foot ranch home. I have been doing some research over concern that the stove may be too large for our home. We live in New England and the winters are cold. The stove is it good for 1000 to 2400 sq ft. Most that I have read leads me to believe the stove will be ok because of the region we are in. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
