Zone Heating

This fireplace is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in, as
well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone
heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space
within a home, such as a basement, a family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.
Houses of moderate size and relatively new construction can be heated with a properly sized
and located wood fireplace. Whole house zone heating works best when the fireplace is in the
part of the house where the family spends most of its time. This is normally the main living area
where the kitchen, dining and living rooms are located.
Locating the fireplace in this area will give the maximum benefit of the heat it produces and will
achieve the highest possible heating efficiency and comfort. The space where the most time is
spent will be warmest, while bedrooms and basement (if there is one) will stay cooler. In this
way, less wood is burned than with other forms of heating.
The success of zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and
location of the fireplace, the size, layout and age of the home and the climate zone. Three-
season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller fireplaces than houses that are
heated all winter.
