Mornin all. I got looking through the forums for this info, and didnt really find anything that pertained to the question, so sorry in advance for the duplicity if there is any.
Im working on getting my Harman P38 installed. Ive called two certified chimney guys. I have an 8 foot cieling in the room that Im in. Ill be using a thimble to go through the sheetrock, then through the attic (another 2 feet) then through the roof. I'll be using 4" Simpson pellet pro chimney I think it is (they said it didnt require caulking). One price $1500. Second price $600. Both guys are booked up about two weeks. Ive got a third person coming in to give me an estimate this Saturday, but Im lost to how there can be such a hige disparity between the two chimney guys.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
The second guy initially suggested a horizontal out through the wall, 90 degree up and three feet to terminate. The stove is in the middle of the front side of a cape, between a door and window that are roughly 48" apart. When I asked him how he would get his clearance to the door and window, he just said yeah, that could be a problem, plus the soot and ash could be messy on the front side of the house, maybe we should go through the roof.
The first guy seemed pick up on everything I had already looked at for clearances and instal tips, but is that worth a $900 difference?
Let me know what you think
