How to increase heat efficiency of an open chimney fireplace?

The most effective way to increase heat efficiency is to install a heat efficient insert into the existing fireplace. The most popular are wood burning, gas burning or pellet burning inserts. Countryside Stove & Chimney offers high quality inserts from Lopi, Avalon and Fireplace Xtrordinair. Click on “Stoves & Fireplaces” above for detailed information.

What is a Direct-Vent venting system?

Direct-Vent gas appliances such as gas burning free-standing stoves, fireplaces or fireplace inserts, are sealed systems that obtain intake air (or combustion air) from outdoors, and return the exhaust to the outdoors, often through one co-axial pipe. The main benefit of the Direct-Vent system over other systems such as B-Vent or Vent-Free is the fact that there is no oxygen depletion from the indoors and no emissions to the indoors (like in the Vent-Free systems). Direct-Vent heaters are generally more efficient, and less draft sensitive, than the other systems. Most gas burning products offered by Countryside Stove & Chimney are Direct-Vent systems.

Is there a wood burning fireplace that can heat an entire house?

Yes. Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite (36″ or 44″) zero clearance fireplace is a patented, unique wood burning system that can effectively and efficiently heat 2,500 square feet (36″ unit) or 3,000 square ft. (44″ unit) of indoor space. Click on “Stoves & Fireplaces” above for more detailed information.
