How do I model a secondary heating appliance such as a pellet stove or electric radiant baseboard?
Modeling a secondary heating plant (electric radiant baseboard, wood stove, pellet stove). Add the secondary heating plant fuel under the Fuels / Rates menu. Adjust the Btu output of the primary heating plant in the Heating / Cooling menu. (e.g. if a home owner says they burn 2 tons of pellets per year at a cost of $300 then decrease the Btu input of the primary heating plant until the pellet usage hits 2 tons.
