I previously posted a question regarding my Energy King 385 EK forced air wood furnace that I could not get my house to stay warm overnight or increase room temp. My chimney is about 35 ft and I did not have a damper. So the feedback I received was add a damper because most of the heat is getting sucked out the chimney. So I added a damper. This did help and was no doubt assisted in my burn time.
But I still am having an issue with keeping my house to temp and it takes forever to get my house to increase temperature.
Yesterday around 4:00 PM I added the damper and my wall thermostat was set at 80 degrees. The room temp of my house was at 68. I ran my stove until 9 PM and I saw my room temp only increase to to 70 degrees. During this time my fan was running at a constant basis and blowing heat. When I went to bed I decreased my wall thermostat to 70 degrees. As I write this at 2 AM the inside of my house is at 60 degrees.
It seems as though unless I am burning my stove hot and my fan is running almost contunusly I am not able to do much other than just maintain room temp.
My home is just under 2,000 sq ft and brand new. I have been running this stove for just over a month now. Unless the weather outside is above 20 degrees I am waking up to a 60 degree house every morning.
Ther thermostat on my furnance is set at 100-150. I previously had it at 90-140 and was having the same issues.
Any suggestions would be more than greatly appreciated!
