So I finally pulled the trigger on a Jotul c550cf last night. While I was at the stove shop I was talking to the owner about my fear of not being able to move the heat around the house effectively and somehow the fact that I have central air came up. He said that this is a great way to get the air moving around the house and move the heat. Just put it on fan only and the heat will be pumped into each room through the vents. In theory this seems like a great solution but I just wanted to get opinions here as to whether or not this is true.
I have a raised ranch and I am basically looking to heat the main house with the insert. The intake for the central air is on the ceiling about 15-20 feet away from the unit and a few feet down the hallway that has the bedrooms that I am concerned about heating. Every room has a vent in the ceiling that can be selectively opened or closed as necessary.
Thanks in advance for any input and opinions
