At the risk of repeating a post from my last thread (I'm a little afraid it's gotten lost in the shuffle there) ...
It suddenly looks like a medium insert may not fit in our fireplace (contrary to what we were told, alas). We are now looking at the Regency i1200, Pacific Energy "Vista," and the Jotul "Winterport."
This insert will be in a quiet room, reserved for reading and "zen time." We will not be masking the sound with a television, kids, etc. So it's important that it be quiet. We admit we're overly sensitive to sound.
We've listened to the PE PACIFIC (the medium one) blower in a showroom. We loved the way it looked, but found it VERY LOUD. We also looked at a Regency i2400, which was quiet -- but we didn't care for its appearance.
We're assuming that the small inserts will have roughly the same blower volume -- so that the Regency i1200 will be quieter (and less attractive!) than a PE Vista. Is that a bad assumption?
We were not able to listen to a Jotul Winterport. Is the blower volume on a Jotul more comparable in volume to the Regency? Or are they just as noisy as the PEs??
Thanks so much for your help.
