Hi guys....Just registered...Very first post. Google is an amazing tool
I'm in to snowmobiling, therefore my user name.
I too, am looking to Englander 28-3500 for my basement. My current stove, the one that was in the house when we bought the place (7 ys ago) has seen its better days and served its purpose well, its a small stove, its not big enough to "heat" the house, (2050 sq ft. 2 sty Colonial) but enough to "sustain" the current temp. Basically, in the morning, the furnace kicks on, gets the house to 68, and then the stove is enough to hold that temp thru out the day.
It worked well,,,,up to now, its just too burnt out, i'm getting an air leak somewhere, it doesn't hold the fire like it once did.
So with that said.......I'm interested in the 28-3500.
i printed this thread out and will read it in detail later on.
WaterBoss....I'm in Western New York, Buffalo burbs. From your pictures, your set-up / arrangement is very similar to what i have. If your standing in front of your stove, your furnace is just to your left....Correct?
Where did you buy your stove? and if ya don't might posting....how much did ya pay?
To others who posted, what other "add-on furnaces" did you consider before purchasing a 28-3500?
What was the deciding factor: Price? Availability? Supplier location?
I seen on the Englander site, that many Big box store carry these, and some local shops......I haven't gotten on the phone yet to find out if one is currently available locally, i'm willing to travel....say....150 miles from Buffalo to get one. (if that's the one i decide on...????)
This would be a nice summer project for me, i'd like to get one soon to have time to work with and get it piped up, and not have to wait till fall and then be under the gun to get it in.
Plus....with it being 570 lbs....man....how the heck i'm i gonna get it in my basement.....
The blower on these....850 CFM...how big is that? is that like a furnace size blower?
And,,for the blower, Has any one piped in to there cold air return on their furnace? Or does it just draw air from around the stove , in the basement?
Any Input is greatly appreciated
