How 'bout for you? April/May are the shoulder seasons in PNW. I am burning significant less product these days.
Same here in the east. Barely burning at all. Now the midwest got 2 ft blizzards plus power outages so i assume lot of stoves are on generators ( if they have them)
Yup stoves on only for a few hrs. in the evening to take the chill off . Man Cave stove runs a bit more that's the only heat source and 60 is not an acceptable temp for surfing the net or watching tv .
Stoves aren't munching thru as much this last week or so. On non-cloudy days (rare), the main floor has been getting good solar gain, so the P43 sometimes only does any work at night. I actually had a couple of windows cracked open yesterday afternoon. But, then they both fired up a couple of times overnight and will thru today as the warm temps were only a 1-day deal.
Im still running my P61, because it predates autoignite, but am seriously considering upgrading the harness and circuit board to make it an -A version this summer upon my Spring cleaning
I wish I could do the same with my Accentra 52i. Great stove but I would like to shut it down for 6 hours at night and kick on like 6:00 a.m. or a wee bit earlier.
I called the Harman folks who redirected me to my seller. Turns out their control panel cannot be retrofitted on the 52i stove I bought in 2017. Not surprising but a total bummer.
The one thing I dislike about Harman's is the OEM refuses to talk to the public. You have to go to a dealer, give them the info, then they call it in. Then when there are questions, you have a 3-way conversation going on. Seriously, when I need to know which hopper extension is correct (different depending on year, and if you are on a cusp year - the only way to tell is to call in the serial #), why do I have to go thru this rigmarole? Also had to have a dealer call to find out if I had bought a used and upgraded P38 (the seller was calling it a PP38++) or a P43 since both were punched on the metal tag .
It does seem silly. It's just another revenue generating mechanism for them I guess. Those suppliers have to go to classes I believe? I dunno. Good thing their products don't require a lot of attention.
OMG. I forgot to fill the hopper last night and woke to a cold house. I was forced -- pistol whipped and all -- to turn on the furnace. There goes the budget, but I am pretty sure those vent spiders got fried or got flung up onto my ceilings.
