Hello, I take advantage of the subject on the choice of stoves, to have your opinion.
So there you have it, I have a very large open fireplace in my old house, and I would like to put a stove in it, rather than an insert.
I have about 70 m2 to heat on the ground floor, with beams on the ceiling.
I do not count the floor since the stove will be opposite the stairs.
according to two stores, we were advised:
- scan 10 all cast iron, 7kw nominal and 9k max, 79% yield at € 2700, logs 50 cm
- rustic chazelles, 11 kw at 2300 € with smoke extraction system, loading on the side, post combustion system, for logs up to 60 cm,
- a 10.5 kw "carvin" godin at 1800 €, 57 cm logs,
- an "eco" log of 10 kw, with a log reserve, 55 cm logs at 1550 €.
Knowing that for an aesthetic choice, the last one pleases us a lot, but I have the impression that the scan or chazelles is a notch above in terms of quality than Godin, is this true or a false impression?
knowing that the budget is around 3500 €, installation and tubing included (around 1500 € according to estimates), which solution would you choose? or if you have other choices do not hesitate.
our criteria:
the price
correct heating knowing that the house is old, the insulation is not perfect (we have electric heating for now and it's going well, it's + for convenience.)
the size of the logs is not important
the width of the chimney is 1.80 m, height also.
if possible, be able to turn it on in the morning easily ...
that's it, thanks in advance
