Average life of a Heatmor
« on: September 06, 2011, 06:29:50 AM »

Any info on how long one can expect a heatmor to last if properly maintained?   I will be on my 5th year this year with my 200 and it is doing fine.  I should get a new anode rod as there is not much left of it.

this winter willbe my brother in laws 13th winter i think. he has had quite good luck with it so far. repairs have been only some work on the chimney rotting out outside the stove and the blower rotting off of the stove. he said he had to do some work to replace the spot where the blower mounted but i never seen it. all in all i think his stove has done him well. I am sure if he had put his stove under cover these things likley would not have happened
