![]() ![]() Our pellet stove and wood burning stove, both of which can be as less or more efficient than a gas fireplace depending on which type of gas fireplace you’re comparingĬomparing our gas fireplace to our other fireplaces and stoves in terms of stated ‘efficiency’ ratings: Gas Fireplace Traditional open wood burning fireplaces.We have a range of fireplaces and stoves in the family, including: When compared with other forms of fireplace and stove, gas fireplaces on a whole can be considered to be very efficient forms of fireplace. Gas Fireplace Efficiency vs Other Types Of Fireplace However, this gas fireplace is fairly old and when we eventually replace it we expect the newer model to be more efficient. The efficiency of our gas fireplace falls within the average 50%-60% range expected for natural vent gas fireplaces. Useful energy efficiency at minimum load: 57.9%.Useful energy efficiency at nominal heat output: 57.9%.The efficiency rating for our particular gas fireplace insert is as follows: The efficiency rating of our gas fireplace isn’t shown on the rating plate but can be found in the manual. If you don’t have the manual then you can use the information displayed on the rating plate to find an electronic copy of the right manual for your gas fireplace. The rating plate may display the efficiency rating, but if not it can probably be found within the owner’s manual. The rating/data plate for our own gas fireplace is located in the same compartment as the controls As a result, ventless gas fireplaces can be found to be almost 100% efficient and the efficiency rating may not be found stated anywhere on a ventless gas fireplace because they’re designed to be so efficient. Ventless gas fireplaces don’t have any form of external ventilation and so the fuel must be burnt cleanly enough in order to be able to safely put waste air back into the room. ![]()
