Thanks to all of the helpful information provided on this site, we are getting a Jotul 550 Rockland fireplace insert installed. Hearth.com is a wonderful site. The call for action was an expensive repair on a cracked chimney liner. Looks like we'll have to wait until the snow melts before installation. Timing could have been better! The old fireplace has (what I think) is a heatalator with a small fan that would heat the upper floors in a 1950s split level. I have a marine battery with inverter back-up for powering the small fan on the current set up. This latest snow and power outages set me to wondering what the amps of the blowers on the Jotul are. I can't find any information in the Jotul on-line manual. Does any one have this information?
