Remodeling Design Dilemma Fireplaces

Gas Fireplace- Napoleon vs. Heat N Glo

3 years ago

I've narrowed my new gas fireplace choice down to two. Both are 36" and the same price installed (with different dealers): Napoleon Altitude X and Heat N Glo CLX 6000

I was inititally drawn to the Napoleon brand for aesthetics- I like their log sets better, they have more options, and seems a bit more bang for the buck. My problem- no dealers in my area show the Napoleon, though they sell it. I was able to find a few videos and reviews online which gives me a bit more confidence buying it unseen.

Anyone have experience with either of these brands or models? I'm in Minnesota and it seems many dealers out here push the Heat N Glo (perhaps because it's a local brand)...
