Hello all,
I'm going to install an insert soon. I've read and heard "too big will be to hot" and "try to upsize if you can" statements. My local dealers are telling me stay small.
I'm looking for thoughts from real users in a similar situation. I have a 1500 sq ft ranch, built in the early 70's. Typical cut up design with divided rooms and 8ft ceilings. Fireplace on outside wall of 15x12 family room with single short hallway type access. My fire place opening is 27 high by 36 wide so I have some options.
I don't plan to heat the house just suppliment and enjoy.
Ok experts "fire" away with suggestions.
Thank you from currently 15 degree Wisconsin
