In general, a standard fireplace is not the most efficient method of heating your home. A substantial amount of the heat produced is lost up the chimney. Depending on your local regulations, an efficient wood stove or fireplace insert would be a better choice.
Always consult with a local qualified expert before installing any heating system.
