How much heat does a fireplace produce?
If ventless plenty, if with a blower and not ventless plenty, if it's a vented fireplace without a blower not much. Ventless fireplaces have progressed from earlier times. This very much depends on the type and model of fireplace. Gas and wood fireplaces may produce varying amounts of heat, while the supply of air and volume of the fireplace will also have an effect. If you really want to supply your home with as much of the heat from your fireplace as possible. I'd recommend a fireplace blower kit. They are relatively inexpensive and can save you a ton of money in heating costs. It really depends on the appliance, there are some gas fireplaces that are designed to be decorative and produce little to no heat and there are others that produce heat very efficiently. Vent free fireplaces are extremely efficient but produce odor, have moisture issues, and are generally cheaply made and have far more potential for improper, dangerous operation than vented appliances. A Direct Vent DV gas fireplace is a good efficient and safe appliance, They will normally include DV on the model number somewhere and will have a sealed glass front. Most will accommodate blowers to help distribute the heat more effectively. Simply adding a blower to any gas fireplace will not necessarily increase the heat output. It has to be a model that was designed to produce heat to begin with.
