For context, pellet stoves generate between 8,000 and 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs), and you’ll need 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot, depending on your climate zone.

Q: Can you leave a pellet stove running 24/7?

• <div><p>Pellet stoves are designed to run for several hours at a time. Running them for an entire day is not uncommon. More advanced models can run continuously for up to 48 hours, making them ideal if you live in extremely cold conditions and don't want to keep refueling the stove.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a wood furnace?

• <div><p>One disadvantage of a wood furnace is that you need a constant supply of wood to run it. Even if you have a good amount of wood on your property (or have another way to get affordable wood), you&rsquo;ll still need to chop it, store it, and re-fuel your furnace with it to keep your house heated. </p></div>

Q: Can I install a pre-fabricated gas fireplace myself?

• <div><p>DIY installation is not recommended due to the complexities of gas line work and venting; professional installation ensures safety and compliance.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a pellet stove?

• <div><p>Although they provide heat, light, and atmosphere, pellet stoves require electricity to run certain parts, which some homeowners may find to be an unfortunate additional expense. They can also produce noises that some may find annoying, like a low rumble from the blower fan or its motor.</p></div>

"I put down a deposit for my project around June 2024, with the agreement that work would begin in January 2025. The deposit was supposed to secure my materials. In December 2024, I asked if they could start earlier and complete the project by Christmas. They agreed but couldn't begin until December 26th—not a big issue since the original start date was January. However, the real frustration began here. One of the pavers I selected was on backorder, and I had to order more than originally needed just to meet their supplier’s minimum requirement. This meant paying extra and waiting over four weeks to keep my design. [ My deposit DID NOT SECURE MY MATERIALS ] Despite my frustration, I agreed. Then, on February 19th, I received a message saying they would resume work in two days. I waited—no one showed up. I followed up on February 22nd and was told they would come on the 22nd or 23rd. Again, no show. I rearranged my schedule multiple times to accommodate these delays. Finally, on February 24th, they showed up and continued the work. Now, as of March 5, 2025, the installation is complete, but there are still unresolved issues—irrigation not working, scratches on the gate and wall, leftover project trash and other cosmetic problems. I have to reach out daily to ask if someone is coming to fix these, only to be met with delays and rescheduling. If you’re looking for a company that delivers decent work but terrible communication and scheduling, this is it. Their inability to set clear timelines or communicate properly has been beyond frustrating."
