I'm considering purchasing a pellet stove insert for a well insulated
2300sq. ft. colonial. The stoves I've looked at that fit my first floor
fireplace are Breckwell (model P2000I) and Quadrafire (CLASSIC BAY
1200I). I will consider any brand/model that fits and has a good
reputation for efficiency, reliability, quietness, ease of maintenance,
and service.

I've checked various Internet resources, but would appreciate hearing
from pellet stove owners on brand/model efficiency, reliability,
quietness, ease of maintenance, and service after the sale.

Thank you,


Peter

I have the QuadraFire unit that you describe in a free standing model. I
don't have a bad word to say about it. It's been a great stove, easy to
clean, great heating capacity, and looks the part. I would recommend
getting the fake log kit, it adds a lot to the ambiance factor and isn't
very expensive.

whatever one you buy make sure you check for noise. The one I had I do not
recall the brand but it was a bit noisy had optional TV remote control type
thermostat that worked pretty well but sometimes it would stick!

Check prices of heating oil/gas/electric (whatever is used there)
against cost of stove/chimney/pellets. I may not be a paying
proposition ot add it. I checked here years about replacing my
woodstove with one. It would not have paid me to do so as price of
pellets against oil was about the same.
