Hi everyone, been lurking for a while while considering a pellet stove and finally got mine installed. Great info on here! I am looking for tips on how to get better heat distribution in my house. Facts below:
- Stove: Harman Accentra 52i fireplace insert
- Location: Vermont - appx 8000 HDD
- House: purchased this year after heating season. Built in 1949. 8" thick slate veneer on 3 sides, vinyl on back. Story and a half cape. Exterior walls only 2x4 (bummer), batting insulation. Full poured concrete basement, unheated. I sealed and insulated rim joists. Hoping to heat entirely with pellets, but main system is boiler/hot water baseboard (cast iron). I air sealed attic as best I could, existing insulation about R-35. Looking to blow in another R-20 or so of cellulose. Windows are original Pella casement, single pane + energy panel.
