I bought my 1800sq ft house(2 story contempt)in 1997.The only heat it had was a Harmon pellet stove.I believe at the time this was top of the line product,55,000 btus. for pellet stoves.When I first bought my house it had very few windows and doors.The stove would get the house any temp I wanted it.Im in upstate NY.It can get pretty cold here,though none of that 20-40 below stuff.Over the years Ive put in two patio doors and lots of windows.Good quality products professionaly installed.Well the old stove dont seem to put out like it used to.When it gets down to single digit or below temps,I can keep it about 65 in here.Other than that the only thing I can tell ya is that the key for peak performance of a pellet stove is to keep it clean.I dont know how old your stove is,but mine over the years got leaks in the draft system.That causes havoc in the system.Ive looked at new stoves.I think there made a lot cheaper than mine these days,but better designs have made them alot easier to clean and maintain.Also with the pellet shortage this past fall I had to burn a few off brands that I didnt think were that great either.
