Good evening Folks'

I have a pacific Energy Summit series Fireplace insert,
It has a terrible blower fan in it (Does not look factory) I am looking to replace with an upgraded one.
Anyone have any information to get the BEST amount of heat into my room; I feel I am wasting a lot of good heat with my poor performing fan.
Not worried about Cost,

Debating on switching to this style :

any input would greatly be appreciated


Here is what I currently have

The inserts use a different blower. Why do you think this is not the factory blower? The alternative that is mentioned is for a freestanding stove. It won't work with the insert. What is the problem being experienced with the factory blower?

That is correct, It came up as it would work via summit series but didn't realize they also made a free standing in that series.
My current blower just rattling a bit. I would really like to get something with a bit more CFM if possible.
Would I be able to puta blower on each side of the fireplace? (Behind the grills)
