This past summer I bought my first house and it has baseboard electric heat. I wanted to purchase a stove before the heating season but unfortunately I didn't have the money until now. Long story short I have been doing my homework this week and have looked at various models at a number of dealerships. I really like the Quadrafire Castile and the Lopi Leylan but don't think I can swallow the cost of these two stoves. For $3000-$4000 I could add a little more money and have a full blown furnace.
Thanks to this forum and some other online reading I stumbled across two other stoves that are more economical. The one is the Englander 25-PDVC and the other is a US Stove 6041 multifuel. Can anyone provide me some advice on which of the two stoves (Englander or US Stove) would be the better buy?
Also my local Home Depot is selling the Englander 25-PDVC for $999 and that is not a sale price. To me that price is too good to pass up, please advise why I should or should not buy this stove. My house is a single story 1000 sq ft with a full basement. I'm not worried about heating the basement at this point since it is unfinished.
Thanks in advance for any help on this topic.
