Hello all!
I am new to pellets and like them so far. I recently bought a house that has a pellet stove in the basement to heat a small work shop. I added some flex duct to aid the heating of the upstairs. Now I am looking to eliminate all Oil heat due to it's very high cost. I am looking in to a new pellet stove for my living room.I thought I'd ask the forums before asking a salesman at a hearth store.
I have a 1200 sqft home built in 1926. Oil furnace for heat and Central A/C. Newer windows and doors, 2 Bedrooms on the second level and the living room takes up most of the first level. Here is a quick lay out of the rooms on the first level. In the two lower bottom corners is where I can place the stove. The Living area has two ceiling fans that could help circulate heat.
I have a ton of questions and I understand that there are tons a variables so I will give info as needed.
I live in Central Maryland near Annapolis.
Is it possible to heat the whole house with pellets?
Will second level be "Ice Cold" and first level "Hot as Heck"? I like it cooler where I sleep but not freezing.
Can I run the Fan for the Central A/C or Oil furnace to help distribute the heat even out the rooms?
The Misses is pushing to replace the A/C unit with a Heat Pump and I am researching the Pellet Stove path or even a Pellet furnace. I don't care for the Heat Pump cool feel and like the warm forced air better.
Thanks for your time and help
