The rule of thumb is this. Given a room with adequate insulation and typical ceilings (8 feet +/- 1 foot), each 10,000 Btu's of heat output from an efficient gas appliance will heat approximately 350 sq. ft. If the area to be heated has pitched or vaulted ceilings, poor insulation, or drastic air movement then the heating ability will be reduced. (Vented gas logs are not to be considered in this calculation as they are designed for appearance only.

If you already have a brick or stone fireplace, or a factory-built fireplace, and you want to convert it to gas, then the most cost-effective solution is an insert. If you are remodeling a part of your home that never had any kind of built-in structure, then you need a Direct Vent fireplace that does not require an existing opening or chimney.

Gas logs burn cleaner than wood burning fireplaces do. Annual inspections are recommended but cleaning annually isn't necessary.

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the amount of energy required to raise 1 lb of water 1 degree Fahrenheit. You will usually see propane burners rated in BTU's, but what they mean is BTU's/hr. Here is a simple way to see how many BTUs you need for your pot size. Water density is 8.3 lb/gal. To raise 1 gallon of water (1 x 8.3 = 8.3 lbs) from 70 to 212 deg F in 1 hour you will need 8.3 x 142 = 1,178.6 BTUs.

Direct vent gas fireplaces are safety tested with a specific brand of pipe. Therefore, it is not possible to install a direct vent gas fireplace with any type of exhaust system. The brand (manufacturer) of the pipe chosen must have been specifically approved for your Osburn gas fireplace. For instance, Osburn model ?Romance? is approved with the following brands of pipe: B-Vent gas fireplaces can simply be installed with a type ?B? pipe for gas appliances.

No! The beauty of Regency Direct Vent technology is that you do not necessarily need to go up through your roof to terminate the venting. All you need is proximity to an outside wall, the distance to which depends on the model you choose. Not only does this make installation more flexible, but it also keeps the costs down. And with our sleek and attractive patented AstroCap horizontal termination cap, you won't be cluttering up the outside of your home either.

We recommend not moving the logs. Placement of the logs is critical to the operation and performance of the fireplace. Misarranged logs can result in operational problems. If you notice the logs have been moved during cleaning, contact a service person or check your installation and operating instructions for proper placement.

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 4-6 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleanser such as Brasso may be necessary. The glass panel must remain in place but the screen will be removed so that the fixed glass doors will not fit on the unit.

Yes. Most building codes allow the installation of a gas fireplace in a sleeping room as long as it is a sealed combustion, direct vent model. Your decision really comes down to whether heat or aesthetics is your number one priority. If heat is your first concern, or the existing wood fireplace has had a history of down drafting (smoking), you should purchase a gas insert.

Vent free fireplaces are fireplaces that do not require any type of vent system. Instead, they are designed to burn clean and the combustion by-products allowed to flow into the room the fireplace is located in. Stringent requirements ensure that these fireplaces not only burn cleanly, but that they are located in rooms of sufficient size to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air is always available for the combustion process.

No. Gas fireplaces are designed to burn gas only. Burning wood would damage the fireplace and could be very dangerous.
