Hi everyone!
I was hoping for some help deciding between a P35i and an Accentra.. I have a 1955 ranch, fireplace is in the middle of the house in living room. 1222sq ft upstairs..partial finished basement downstairs...looking to mainly use the pellet stove for supplemental heating... have oil heat now. 2 bedrooms at one end of the house, family room/tv room at the other end, kitchen is on the other side of fireplace...We will have a ceiling fan in the living room. newer windows... slight drafts in each though..
My concern is will the p35i be enough to heat the one floor? it's rated 0-35,000 btu..up to 1520 sq ft heating capacity but in zone 2 (Mass) 925 sq ft., the accentra is 42,000 btu up to 2200 sq ft. capacity.. I tend to think that I'd be better off going bigger with the accentra, however I don't want to have as stove that is working to heat a larger area than need be. Most dealers have said we'd be fine with the p35i... but I've had one say it wouldn't.. Any help would be appreciated... have never had a pellet stove before. Thanks!
