1.    Inspect the above chart. Which climate zone are you in? Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7 Zone 8 Zone 9 Zone 10 Zone 11
       Where possible, our map includes "micro" climate zones that occur in mountainous
       areas. However, it is difficult to pinpoint every single place where high terrain results
       in climate changes. If you live in an area that is higher and noticeably colder than
       surrounding terrain, you may want to choose a smaller zone number.

2.     How old is your house? Built in 1990 or later Built from 1980 to 1989 Built from 1960 to 1979 Built from 1945 to 1959 Built from 1910 to 1944 Built before 1910 and recently remodeled Built before 1910 and not recently remodeled

3.    Choose one of the following. How well insulated do you think your home is?

Very well insulated (6" thick wall insulated to R30 or better, Ceiling insulation 10 inches deep       to R50 or better, full vapor wrap, thermopane windows rated to R5 or better.)

Well insulated (4" thick walls insulated to R19 or better, ceiling insulation to R30 or better,       thermopane windows, log home of recent construction and well chinked.)

Insulated (Walls to R10 or better, ceilings to R19 or better, storm windows, older log homes
      with some cracks.)

Not very well insulated (drafty older homes with no recent upgrades to insulation, single pane
      windows with some or all storm windows missing, uninsulated brick, stone, or adobe  
      construction.)

4.    What kind of wood will you probably burn most of the time?

Quality hardwood (Beech, hickory, locust, oak)

Average hardwood (Ash, birch, butternut, elm, maple, sycamore, tamarack, walnut)

Poor hardwood or softwood (Aspen, basswood, cedar, fir, hemlock, larch, pine, poplar,       redwood, sassafras, spruce, willow)

5.     Which of the following best describes your floorplan and intended stove placement:

Open floor plan with stove in central location.

Split level with stove on first level of living space.

Ranch home with stove in center of home on first floor

Traditional/colonial style (Bedrooms down a hallway or on the second floor, formal living
      room, separate kitchen and dining rooms) with with stove on first floor in the room where
      you spend most of your time.
