An efficient gas fireplace zone heater puts warmth directly into the area you wish to heat with relatively little cycling losses. State-of-the-art heaters utilize special lightweight steel and ceramic components to heat quickly and reach maximum efficiency levels in minutes.

By installing a gas fireplace in one or more of your main living areas, you can enjoy increased comfort while reducing furnace usage in colder weather or eliminating it entirely during warmer Spring and Fall weather.

What is a BTU? A basic understanding of your heating needs will prepare you to make a purchase. A BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat required to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree fahrenheit. All gas appliance are rated in BTU's/hr Input which is an approximation of the amount of gas consumed on full fire in one hour as expressed in term s of the heat potential of the gas. Depending on the design and efficiency of the appliance, a certain proportion of the heat generated from burning ends up as useful heat in the room (Heat Output) while some portion is lost to vents and chimneys (Flue Loss).
