Hey gang.....I had another thread that evolved into an insert search so I've dedicated a new thread to the process.
Since I'm new to the woodburning stove/insert scene, I welcome all comments and suggestions.
My house is a 1970's split level, approx. 1800 sq. feet. The fireplace is in the living room, the lowest level of the home. The living room is 12x20. In line with the living room is the kitchen, 12x12 a few steps up from the living room. So the direct area that the insert will heat is approx. 12x32.
My fireplace opening is 27" h 34" w 20" deep
First installer e-mailed me his quote.
He has several Napoleon 1402's that he's looking to move....so of course his quote is for installing that unit.

1/2†foil faced insulation 187
“fire-safe†plate 88
6†elbow with band strap 52
SS Armor mesh 30
18Ga SS top plate 30
6†SS top plate clamp 17
Installation (includes cleaning flue) 867

2nd installer's quote
Installer no. 2 does not sell the inserts, but happily installs them.
His quote:

cap
top plate

Obviously, plus the cost of the insert chosen.
No. 3 is due this evening....stay tuned!
