Tahoejeff, They are not that bad, maybe as about as loud as a stand up fan. The one closest to the burner is set to low and the one farthest is set to high. Keep in mind I am pushing the air for a good eighty to a hundred feet, In your situation the fan on low should be fine. I have tried running just the fan on my HVAC and that didn't work that well, I guess it would depend on the layout of your house.
