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.

How does a fireplace warm the house?
Fireplaces, especially gas fireplaces, don't really do much to heat your home unless a fireplace blower or fan kit is installed. A blower kit will dramatically increase the efficiency of your fireplace by helping to distribute the heated air your fireplace produces into your home. They have kits and replacement blowers for most major brands of gas fireplaces. Even some wood fireplaces.
If a gas fireplace is on and the electricity goes out will the fireplace continue to work?
It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.
If A person sitting in front of a fireplace feels what type of heat energy?
Radiant energy
Why did Ben make the Franklin stove?
It provided a more efficient way of getting heat from the burned fuel since it does not produce as much draft as a standard fireplace, and there is less loss of heat.
What source of energy does a fireplace use?
A fireplace typically uses wood, natural gas, or propane as a source of energy to generate heat and create a cozy atmosphere. The fuel is burned in the fireplace to produce warmth and light.
Use of fireplace to save energy?
Using a fireplace means you don't have to use as much heat in your house, as they fire also produces natural heat. Heating hosues takes fossil fuels and energy, so having some heat come from a fireplace means that less heat has to be taken from natural resources like oil and coal.
Heat given off by a fireplace is an example of conduction convection radiation insolation?
The fireplace's heat is an example of radiation.
How does a fireplace fan blower enhance the efficiency of a fireplace?
A fireplace fan blower helps to distribute heat more evenly throughout the room by pushing warm air away from the fireplace and into the surrounding space. This helps to increase the overall efficiency of the fireplace by maximizing the heat output and reducing heat loss.
What heat energy do you feel from the fireplace?
The heat energy you feel from a fireplace is primarily radiant heat. This heat is given off by the fire and warms objects and people in close proximity. The amount of heat felt will depend on the distance from the fireplace and the size of the fire.
What kind of animal does not produce much internal heat?
Cold-blooded animals do not produce much body heat. Most do not produce any at all.
How does a gas fireplace blower enhance the efficiency and heat distribution of a gas fireplace?
A gas fireplace blower enhances efficiency and heat distribution by circulating the warm air produced by the fireplace throughout the room. This helps to evenly distribute heat and prevent hot spots, making the fireplace more effective in heating the space.
How much heat does a gas fireplace produce?
Your question is sort of like how fast a car can go- depends on the car. There are different fireplaces- vented, ventless, heat exchanger, etc etc. We had a ventless fireplace with a heat exchanger- and it produced a good deal of heat. Others may be less. You should talk with a gas appliance dealer of your local gas utility for more information.
How did they heat their houses in the 1700s?
Fireplace
What is the answer for this a chair is placed several feet from a fireplace the fireplace has a glass screen the side of the chair facing the fireplace gets warm because of?
The chair gets warm from the radiant heat produced by the fireplace. The glass screen on the fireplace reflects and magnifies the heat, causing the side of the chair facing the fireplace to warm up.
Heat given off by fire in a fireplace is an example of what?
Heat cast forward out of a firepalce is called radiant heat and it the only usable heat that a fireplace can create The wasted heat that a fireplace creates is called combusion heat that rises up the chimney.
