Well I do have an air source heat pump, but it's neither effective (ductless, so only really warm in rooms with air handlers) nor efficient (runs up my electric bill to near $200 when it gets cold). On top of that, it's currently OOC. I was just planning on running the pellet stove all winter, then ditching the ductless system and installing something better over the summer. But from what you've said, it sounds like I might need to get in fixed so I can calculate the BTU load. Would that probably be better than trying to figure it out using the pellet stove?
Edit: I also have gaps in some of my doors that might be robbing me of heat, so I guess I need to make that more of a priority too. Would hanging heavy curtains on the windows make a significant difference?
