Fireplace type Efficiency

Propane fireplace Over 90%

Wood-burning fireplace About 15%

a year to run for occasional use

Btu/h input, so you can size it to the room

Built for comfort, and for outages

Runs when the grid doesn’t

Many models keep working during a power outage, giving your home a critical source of heat.

Direct vent keeps heat inside

Combustion air comes from outdoors, so the unit never pulls warm air out of your house.

Set it and forget it

Automatic ignition, no standing pilot, and a remote with a thermostat that holds the room at your temperature.

Zone heating that saves

Warm the rooms you use and turn down the central thermostat for the rest.

Easy to install

Flexible CSST gas lines run to the fireplace in new or existing homes.

Adds real value

A real flame brings ambiance to a living space and appeal for buyers.

Find the fireplace that fits your home

Direct-vent fireplaces

Sealed and vented through an exterior wall. Ideal for new construction and remodels.

Fireplace inserts

Convert an old, inefficient masonry fireplace into a high-efficiency propane unit.

Freestanding stoves

Flexible placement and strong heat for great rooms, cabins, and workshops.

Outdoor fireplaces

Propane works indoors or out, so your patio stays warm well past sundown.

What it costs to run

How you use it Propane per year

Occasional use25 to 75 gallons

Space heating150 to 200 gallons

When a fireplace heats a room, it offsets energy your main heating system would have used.

Cleaner than wood or electric

Propane produces fewer particulate emissions and less carbon monoxide than wood, which some areas restrict during certain times of year.

Electric fireplaces often run on power from coal-fired plants, with the COâ‚‚ that comes with it.

Ready to add a fire to your home?

  • Hire a licensed propane professional to install it.

  • Match the Btu output to the size of your room.

  • Schedule annual service and keep carbon monoxide alarms working.

Email the Council

Fuel use and costs vary with how often you use the fireplace and how many you have. Confirm venting rules and installation requirements with your local code office.
