FAQs
Can the flame operate without heat?
Yes — the flame and media effects operate independently of the heater, letting you use flame-only mode year-round.

How large of a space can this heat?
Supplemental heating up to ~1,000 sq ft, depending on insulation and climate.
Is external venting needed?
No external venting or chimney required; all airflow handled via front vents.
What is the warranty?
5-Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
How much does it cost to run?
Use: cost/hr = (watts ÷ 1,000) × local $/kWh. Example: 2,500 W ≈ 2.5 × your rate per hour.
