Well. It arrived! I had my Harman Accentra Insert installed. Loving it but have a question about the install. To me, the combustion blower (on the bottom of the unit) seems pretty loud with a vibration noise. The sound of the blower for the hot air (Distribution Blower) is reasonable.
The installer used the leveling bolts and the frame and stove itself is jacked up by the 4 silver leveling bolts about 1/2 inch off the ground. Is this ok? For reference, I used a fancy store bought hearth extension in the front of the fireplace which is about 1 1/2 inches high off the floor. To me, the four bolts holding up this heavy thing is causing the combusion blower to sound pretty loud and you can feel the vibration a little on the hearth pad. The bolts are sitting directly on top of the extension (there are no rubber feet or pads on them) and in the back of the fire place on a brick/stone shims pieces on each side. Also there are 4 blue screws from the inside of the stove drilled toward the bottom of the fireplace, I guess to hold it in place. Does this all sound right?
I figured the bottom of the Frame/stove should sit right on the hearth in the front and bricks/stone in the back and the leveling bolts should just be up slightly to level it. Of course I didn't realize this until he left and I was looking with the flashlight. I also didn't notice the "loud" combustion blower as we had the thing going full blast while he was here. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
