My wife and I bought a used Enlgand 25 PDVC pellet stove to use as primary heat instead of our oil fired forced air.
The unit is 10 years old and the couple we bought it from had all the paper work since new. They had just replaced the main blower and exhaust blower on the unit.
We brought it home and installed it as is with the factory settings and the heat and blower speed set to 1. It was keeping the house at 80* constant. Nice upstairs, but you could not sit in the same room with this thing.
So I called tech support (after 40 minute hold time) and talked to a very helpful technician who told me to change the factory low fuel setting from 6 to 4. This took my pellet consumption from 12 hours to 16 hours and my temp to 75*. Now a week later and it is 32* outside and I am having a hard time keeping the room temp 69*. I have tried to re adjust it back to the factory settings and even change the heat and blower speed. But it seems as is the room air blower is working but not the way it should be. I took the cover of the back and did verify both blowers are working.
Our house is a 105 Victorian and I new there is no insulation. Just seems to be a big change from 75 to 69 and the outside temp went from 45 to 32. Or is this normal?
Thanks for any help.
