So after doing a lot of research on the site I had a 52i installed and decided I should join. I bought a house last winter that had a 500 sq. ft. addition that wouldn't heat as well as the rest of the house and was always about 5 degrees colder. There is a heatform fireplace in the room but the damper is rusted and pretty much unusable. Since we spend most of our time in the room watching TV we went with a pellet insert because of the convenience vs a wood insert. So far I am loving the heat output and the Harman room probe is doing a good job keeping a steady temperature.
Also anyone installing an insert in a heatform fireplace I was able to get an outlet inside the fireplace very easily. I removed the fan that had power running to it from a switch and cut a hole in the firebox to access the cavity that the air blows through and ran wire to the power from the fan.
