Hey guys, So I have a very small house in Western MA (main floor just under 900sq ft + walkout basement/built in garage which will not be heated, about 700sq ft of basement that will be heated). I have all electric baseboard heat on my main floor and my basement has a non-functioning gas stove...
The past few days, creosote is running down the outside of the pipe that is inside the house, between the ceiling and the stove. The exterior pipe looks fine. Also, this fall we had resealed around the pipe where it meets the roof. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions to help us figure out what is going on. Englander 13 - This IS our furnace.
I have no basement in my house - sits on a concrete slab. I have tile/hardwood/pergo floors and yes they are cold in the winter. We've got some carpet and rugs covering about 50% of the total area. Do you think I loose a lot of heat to the floor? If so, do you have any suggestions?
