Good morning all,
Have not posted in a while--my new furnace was installed last April.
I bought a DR Stoves 400--biggest one I could find--200K+ BTU--advertised at 86% efficient. Amish built in PA--800 pounds.
Had it professionally installed rather than me 'rigging' it like my last one.
Already up to 67 degrees after 1 1/2 hours or so. Its 33 degrees outside today--
I had a Clayton previously--was told it was much less efficient. My stove pipe to the flue is MUCH cooler to the touch.
How many hours should I be able to get with this? The installer tells me 8--however I was told the Clayton would last 8--it lasted maybe 2 before it was out of wood.
Anything new I need to know? Advice? Really want to set this thing before I leave to work and come home to a warm house.
