Hello--We have decided to purchase a Pacific Energy Alderlea, but aren't sure about whether we should get the T4 or T5. We live in Asheville, NC, which typically has "mild" winters, dipping into the 20's and 30's at night, but easily getting back up into the 50's during the day. We have a 970 sq foot 1920's house, single story, attic has a foot of cellulose insulation, the basement has icenyne, good newish windows throughout. The stove is going in the dining room, which is open to the kitchen and living room, forming basically an open floor plan for that half of the house. The two bedrooms and the bathroom are off a small hallway adjacent to the dining room. We have a ceiling fan in the dining hall that we'll be using to circulate heat. We also have a central bio-diesel burning heater as back-up, though we hope to use that as little as possible. We've been told that while the T4 will basically heat the house, we'll have to be adding wood more often than the T5. I'm a little worried about spending $400 more for a stove that we'll never need to use to it's full potential...but also aware that we will enjoy building fires that last through the night and will be easy to start again in the morning. We also don't want to waste wood. What do ya'll think?
