Zone Heating

Zone heat can generate a glowing ambiance and a warm penetrating heat while keeping your home’s heating costs down. Installing a new zone heater is the perfect solution. Zone heaters have a broad range of styles and fuel types too. Zone heat is so efficient you settle down with your popcorn on movie night during those long cold winters without having to heat the rest of the house.

Zone heat is Room Specific

Zone heat is about heating the rooms in which you and your family spend the most time. Some hearth products may be able to heat an entire house, but most will heat 1-3 rooms. Ideally, you only want to heat the rooms in which you live. Why waste energy heating rooms you’re not using?

Zone heat saves energy and money

Zone heat can most benefit those with older central furnaces that may be losing heat through leaky ducting systems. Use a zone heater and turn down the thermostat on your central furnace and you’ll see immediate reductions in your fuel bills. There is certainly no point in warming bedrooms, bathrooms or utility rooms when you're not in them.

What are the options?

Choices include fireplaces, freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts and masonry heaters. Within these categories fuels range from firewood, natural gas, propane, pellets, oil, coal, corn and manufactured firelogs. As you can see, the versatility of these units makes just about any application possible. Before making any decisions, decide the areas of the house you want, the temperatures desired, available fuels, intended use patterns, and the convenience factor. Do not forget about the style, design and layout of your home when considering where you will install it.
