First post!
I'm looking to heat my 2100sqft two-story traditional home with one of these two:
Enerzone Destination 2.3-i
or
Hearthstone Clydesdale
My take is that the Enerzone has a better warranty and a better price while the Hearthstone has the soapstone in the firebox and a larger glass / window for viewing, which is important for me.
I've heard some concern about the Clydesdale's blower / fan having issues, or more accurately, that when it's on, humming, buzzing, or rattling can be heard from metal in the unit. Should this be a concern for me?
Also, my home has an electric heat pump, so I hope that the fan will help with circulating heat from the fireplace throughout most of the house.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated for this first-timer. I'm looking forward to learning more about heating my home with a wood burning insert this winter!
Thanks!
