The Harman Accentra is the best cast iron pellet stove on the market.
The Accentra is not the first pellet stove on the market to have traditional cast iron styling, but is by far the best. There are so many features on this remarkable stove that enhance performance and make it easy to enjoy the warmth and convenience of pellet heat.
The Accentra is state-of-the-art in every way, and given Harman's long experience with high performance pellet stoves, this is saying a lot. ÊFrom the moment you lift the door handle you know this is a stove that is built to a quality standard far above any other cast iron pellet stove on the market. ÊThe castings are smoothly detailed and the understated appearance accents a wide range of decor styles that will enhance a living space much like a piece of fine furniture.
The Accentra
Super sized ash pan - The large ash pan greatly reduces the number of times you will Êneed to empty the ashes during a season. ÊSome pellet stoves have small toaster oven sized ash pans, while the Accentras ash pan will let you burn almost a ton of pellets before you have to empty it.
Clean glass for great fire-viewing Ê-The Accentras large window stays remarkably clean so that you can enjoy the fire for much longer periods of time without having to clean the glass. ÊThe Accentra will easily go 2 to 4 weeks between cleanings while other cast iron stoves need to be cleaned at least once per week!
Whisper quiet operation All pellet stoves create sound due to the need for motors and fans but the Accentra has been carefully engineered to provide very quiet operation. Convection air passageways have been enlarged and designed with smooth aerodynamics to greatly reduce air flow noise. ÊFans and motors are rubber mounted, the engine compartment is insulated, leveling screws with rubber pads eliminate vibration between the stove and the hearth pad and a two stage convection fan gives you the capability to cut sound even further. ÊThere is no other stove on the market that delivers so much heat with so little sound.
Dependable Auto -ignition The Accentra has a more reliable ignition system than is commonly used in other pellet stoves. ÊSpecial heat transfer disks on the outside of the Harman igniter transfer heat away from the igniters core and increase durability. ÊIn addition, all igniter equipped Harman pellet stoves will operate with or without the igniter working. ÊSome pellet stoves on the market will not work if the igniter fails.
Temperature control thats like cruise control on a car Ordinary pellet stoves use old fashioned thermostats that are either on or off, the result is over shooting or undershooting of the desired temperature. ÊThe Harman Accentra has a remarkably precise temperature control system built right in so you wont need a thermostat. ÊThe Accentra constantly monitors room temperatures and makes ongoing changes to the pellet feed rate and combustion air so you get very even heating. ÊIts like cruise control on your car.Ê Your home is kept warm and comfortable without the rapid fluctuations in temperatures common to other pellet stoves.
The Accentra will turn itself off when you dont need any heat and turn itself back on when you do, but the control system is far more precise than other automatic stoves on the market. ÊÊ The Accentra is so advanced it will keep the room temperature just where you want it regardless of the quality of pellets you burn or the frequency you clean your stove. With most other brands of pellet stoves there is a big drop in heat output if the stove is not cleaned regularly.
Less maintenance and easy cleaning feature How often a stove requires cleaning and how easy the stove is to clean are very important considerations when buying a pellet stove. ÊThe Accentra gets very high marks in both areas. ÊWhile some brands of pellet stoves require cleaning every couple of weeks the Accentra lets you burn up to a ton of pellets without servicing. ÊFor most homeowners this means vacuuming the stove only 3 or 4 times per heating season! ÊThe combustion blower and flue outlet area are readily accessible and the entire stove, including the flue pipe can be cleaned in less than half an hour.
Outstanding efficiency so you burn less pellets The Accentra delivers high overall efficiencies due to the special cast iron heat exchanger. ÊÊ The heat exchanger is accordion shaped so that the maximum amount of heat from the flue gases get transferred out into the room. ÊOther cast iron pellet stoves simply dont have enough heat transfer area so their overall efficiencies are far less than the Accentra .ÊThe stove is rated at 40,000 BTUs/ per hour and will typically heat 1450 sq. ft. of space in the Northeast.
Tinted hopper lid lets you determine when to refuel This is a great feature. ÊJust look into the hopper and you know right away if more pellets are needed.Ê
Adjustable leveling pads at each corner let you install the Accentra on uneven hearths. The levelers have rubber pads to eliminate vibration and further reduce sound.
The Accentra with an optional cast iron hearth pad lets you install the stove directly on wood or carpeted floors.
You can install an Accentra where other pellet stoves cant go - All other pellet stoves that we know of require that the flue outlet be 4 ft. from a window or door. ÊThe Accentra is listed for 18 from windows and doors when the outside air kit is installed. ÊThe Êoutside air kit also boosts efficiency and allows you to direct vent using a single straight pellet vent pipe.
Burn any grade of pellets Harman stoves let you burn any grade of pellets with ease! ÊÊ Harmans unique under-fire feed system will burn high ash industrial grade pellets as reliably as premium grade fuels so you can be confident buying any brand of pellets available in the Northeast! ÊNo special conversion kits are required.
