I'm considering a wood-burning fireplace insert but would like advice from others who have gone this route.
For context, this will be for my living room (about 22 X 22 ft with 11 ft ceiling, lots of drafty windows). This room is an addition to the original construction...not part of original construction and HVAC calculus. On really cold nights, this room drops to below 60F.
The room has a large wood-burning fireplace which can keep the temp about 30-35F higher than outside temperature but sometimes this isn't enough.
Any advice from those who have converted to wood-burning inserts? Are they loud? Any regrets? What are the cons? Thanks in advance!!!
