Ventis HE350

[Drew777]

My customer is interested in a Ventis HE350. Can anyone tell me anything about them? Hoping to hear some personal experience if anyone has installed one and/or been around one that's fired up. Their controls? Or possibly if anyone has experience with the brand in general, installed or own any of their other units?
I'm assuming Ventis craftsmanship is pretty high end because I've installed their Class A pipe before and it's the nicest pipe I've installed to date. Appreciate anyone that can tell me about their fireplaces thank you

It's a variation from the SBI family that includes the Vacourt Waterloo FP15 and the Osburn Horizon. Here is an installation of the Waterloo FP15.

Valcourt FP15 Waterloo Arched finally arrived and installed.

After waiting several months we got our Valcourt Waterloo Arched zero clearance installed. Did a few break in fires. I have it central in a 2200 sq ft single story home. Needless to say, this is the first time I've struggled to keep a fireplace from burning too hot! First full fire our house was...

Appreciate that. I don't think this will be the right unit for this install, it's way too much fireplace for the location it's going in unfortunately lol. Would make more sense if it were in the center of the house with cathedral ceilings or if I could run some ducts without tearing the entire house up.
What's like a smaller version of this?

There are Osburn, Valcourt, and Ventis 2.5 cu ft versions.

I'm not seeing any that have the arched front like he350. What's a model I should be looking at?

Osburn Straford II or the Valcourt Lafayette II

I found those the other day after a call to SBI and getting a list of all the companies they manufacture for.
Also looking at the Napoleon High Country 3000. Are you familiar with that one at all?
