There are several ways to get more heat out of your fireplace.

The first and easiest is to buy one of our Heat Shields. These durable 304 stainless steel 'plates' go against the back firewall and protect the back from the intense heat. They also project up ton 40% of the heat that normally goes up the chimney back into the room. Our customers love them.

Next in line is our ThermoGrate heater. It is a grate that fits inside your fireplace and you burn your wood on it. As the wood burns the grate which has hollow tubes extracts the woods heat and blows the heat into the room. It will add up to 40,000 BTU's of heat per hour.Email us to learn more about this product.

These are great for retro fitting an ordianry fireplace and getting maximum heat out of it.

The next step is properly installing a fireplace insert. Not only does a fireplace waste the rooms heat when not in use-even when in use it uses your already heated room air to supply oxygen ton the burning fire. That is why unless you have a super efficient fireplace, the rest of the house and room seem cold when the fireplace is burning. It will replace all the air in a home three times an hour just burning a fire.
