I installed a wood insert 3 months ago and we love it! It makes the house so comfortable.
However, I have a question I was not able to answer so far. From an economic stand point, is it better to let the fire run 24 hrs (load the insert before going to bed and reload it in the morning) or is it better to let it die (stop feeding wood 1-2 hrs before bed) and restart it the next day?
We have a 1400 sq ft cape cod home: the insert had blowers blowing warm air in the living areas, some war air reaches upstairs and warms up the upstairs floors.
However, most of the heat goes in the living room / dining room and it gets wasted at night when we are in bed. So is it worth it to let it run overnight?
Your thoughts?
