How to size your appliance

Before we begin to define the amount of heat a space may require, we need to keep in consideration the other factors, including house construction, the temperature desired and the duration of the fire. These factors may suggest a person to shop for a smaller or larger appliance and not base the decision from the stated square footage of the appliance. The sizing we utilize is intended for the Maine climate and for average requirements.
