Which Pellet Stove or Fireplace Insert is Right For You?
Tuesday, August 6, 2019
When purchasing a pellet appliance, it’s important to consider the size to get the desired heat along with the style and control to match the look of your house and the convenience you’re after.
Size
To determine how much heat you’ll need, it’s best to consult with a local Harman dealer. Too big a unit and you’ve spent more than what you needed and you’ll have too much heat for your room, making it uncomfortable. Too small and it won’t give you the heat you need.
Also consider the space, layout and insulation of your home. Your Harman dealer can help confirm the size that meets your heating needs. Here are some basics to get the right size of unit.
- Square footage: Measure the space you’re going to heat (e.g., 1,200 sq. ft.)
- Home insulation: The better your home is insulated, the less heat needed from your stove or insert
- Fireplace opening for pellet inserts: Measure the length, width and height to see what size is best
- Clearance to combustibles: Ask how far your unit should be from walls and combustible materials like furniture, and if you need floor protection

Why Harman? High quality and standard features.
- Largest pellet hoppers and ash pans: Quick, easy maintenance gets you back to the things you enjoy! We supersize our pellet hoppers so you don’t have to fill them as often, and our ash pans so you only need to empty them as little as once a month.
- PelletPro™ feeder system: Add your pellets, set your temp and walk away thanks to our patented system that allows you to burn any grade of pellet fuel for maximum heat, provides bottom-up feeding that burns each pellet completely, and enables you to do basic cleaning while it is burning for 24-hour heating.
- Exhaust Sensing Probe (ESP) technology: Continually adjusts heat output to keep your room temp within one degree of where you set it.
- Flame-reactive mirrored glass: Enjoy the ambiance of your stove or insert whether it’s in use or not thanks to mirrored glass that becomes invisible when there are flames in the firebox.
