    Central Heat and a pellet stove issue
    New here and have a question. The house we moved into a year ago has a pellet stove installed in the living room. It works great. Maybe to good. The reason I say this is that the thermostat for the central heat and air is down the hallway a good 50-60 feet from the pellet stove. I noticed that the back two rooms of the house always appear colder than they should. In my daughters room I installed a duct fan which works but is not getting the room warm enough for my comfort level. My question is, is it possible the heat from the pellet stove is causing the thermostat down the hall to have an inaccurate reading? Thus not turning on the central heat at night when needed? If so, how would I go about fixing this issue?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,
    Rodney

    Yes the pellet stove can generate enough heat to keep the thermostat off for your regular furnace. Add a blower/breeze box fan in the hallway to force more of the heated air towards the back to the cold area.
