As you can see we are torn between the two. I am in raised ranch, heating main floor of 1,100 no where for the heat to rise except for 8 ft ceiling. Open floor plan with kitchen, dining room and living room all open. the stove would be set on raised fireplace hearth. We are replacing a fisher momma bear. the rest of our main floor contains a long Hall with 3 bedrooms and bathroom off of the hall.
Our basement floor is finished with large TV room (was place for teenager hang out) and 4th bedroom, laundry room and bathroom. We use electric there when needed - empty nesters now so we generally stay on the main floor now. Basement part way underground so unheated, does not get below 45-50 even when 9 degrees outside.Anyone out there with 1,100 ft using an Oslo? If your space or larger are you happy with either your oslo or castine choice?
