I installed a Harman PF100 woodpellet furnace in my old farmhouse last year. It was a rental unit and recently sold it since I was having lots of trouble getting good renters that paid. It was a great selling feature!

My old farmhouse is your basic drafty 5 bedroom home that was heated with a Lennox high efficiency propane furnace. The duct runs are long and the cool air coming out of the furnace never gave it a warm feeling. During 2-3 months of the peak heating seasons, propane bills were about $750.00/month.

This woodpellet furnace connects to the normal furnace ductwork and has its own fan, but you also use the furnace fan to blow heat throughout the house. My renters absolutely loved it. It was warmer than ever before and about 1/4-1/3 the cost of heating with propane.

I originally had an AmazaBlaze corn stove that also attached to the furnace that just didn't work out. The corn stove was only 70,000 BTU where the pellet furnace is 100,000 BTU's.
